Books for the he-reader and she-reader, not the e-reader!
With the air abuzz with discussion about the art of the book versus digitization, the LPG has decided to focus on celebrating where brick and mortar books excel at bringing the reader a special -- and unparalleled -- experience.
These books feel good in your hands. We're talking heavy paper stock, intricate design and illustration, over-the-top typography... all those things that book geeks like us care about on top of straight-up impressive content.
These titles are gorgeous inside and out; the bulk of the featured titles being hand printed, offset printed, and derivatives of. Each title was hand-picked by the LPG's very own sales rep, Nadine Boyd, the mastermind behind this timely campaign.
