The Lemur
March 17th, 2008
First installment of Benjamin Black's/John Banville's serialized fiction in the NY Times Magazine. (There's no good way to navigate between the chapters, sort of stupidly.)

Research for a brochure.
Manual of the diseases of the eye
March 12th, 2008
Ok, a) eye diseases, with color plates, cool. But maybe more importantly, b) this is the first Google book I've found where there are scans of fingers holding the pages down. And frequently. Very charming.

"Thus Casablanca is not just one film. It is many films, an anthology. Made haphazardly, it probably made itself, if not actually against the will of its authors and actors, then at least beyond their control."
I made this

First freelance book cover credit. First book cover credit, period. Thanks, Brian.

The Eight Planets

Oh, that Andy Warhol. What will he think up next?
Rare Type Specimens at the Open Library

Some really nice type, in a really irritating interface. Some of these are apparently downloadable as pdfs.
