Special FX
Sappi Fine Paper has released 5 handbooks to aid designers. Previous editions included topics on scoring and folding, varnishes and coatings, color management, and preparing files for the press. Torin and I went to the release of the 5th, which was done in support and in cooperation with 826, a national organization that teaches writing and publishing, along with tutoring support. Each branch has a different, imaginative theme. Seattle's branch is the Greenwood Space Travel Supply Co.
This edition of the Standard focuses on special effects, while using the themes of the various 826 branches as content. Superheroes, detectives, robots, time travel, etc. This book is pure eye-candy, with a wire-o binding.

150 things
From the back cover: "They love nothing better than sipping free-trade gourmet coffee, leafing through the Sunday New York Times, and listening to David Sedaris on NPR (ideally all at the same time). Apple products, indie music, food co-ops, and vintage T-shirts make them weak in the knees."

Books on repeat
You know you & your sister have read a lot of Harry Potter if:
You've created new suspects, weapons, and rooms for the game 'Clue.' Professor Trelawney with Furnunculus in the Trophy Room is a viable senario.
One summer you took turns reading aloud chapters from GoF, while the listener tried to recreate the chapter illustrations with markers.
For fun, you can open up any of the seven books at random, read aloud a single sentence, and the other has to give the context.
All seven books audio books were given as a graduation present.
Discussions are held about "How to talk to your kids about Harry Potter." How old is old enough?
