A Year of Mornings and A Giveaway
Posted by Jaime Derringer on 10.20.08 in Art
A Year of Mornings
is a beautifully visual book based on the popular photo blog, 3191 by Stephanie Congdon Barnes and Maria Alexander Vettese. I just talked about it in a previous post, and suddenly it arrived in my mailbox. As I looked through the pages of AYOM, I really fell in love with the similarity of each woman’s photographs. Not only do their camera angles, photo quality, and lighting seem similar, but even their lives become blended together. It’s a very quiet and reflective book. Somehow it reminds me of a movie in which two people are so intertwined and connected and in the end they finally meet.
**I have decided to give the book away to one lucky reader.**
Here’s the deal: Comment on this post with your other favorite book published by PAPress and we will randomly choose one winner. One comment per person. Winner receives my brand new copy of A Year of Mornings.

Since I really enjoy the theoretical stuff I will go with “Design Studies: Theory and Research in Graphic Design”.

PA Press puts out so many great books. But I really adored Hand Job: A Catalog of Type by Mike Perry.

Tibor Kalman: Peverse Optimist.

I like “A-frames” because I always wanted to live in one as a little girl. Maybe that’s why I appreciate architecture so much.

I enjoyed Hand Job but now I’m going to have to order The National Park Architecture Sourcebook because it sounds like a neat read. Thanks!

This one has me intrigued: Letter by Letter

I loved The Guerilla Art Book.

I am really interested in “The Modern Garden” by Jane Brown. I love modern landscape design! I also love AYOM!
Robyn on 10.20.2008 at 12:05 PM
I love the book ‘Grid Systems: Principles of Organizing Type’ by Kimberly Elam. I really want to check out Hand Job though!

I’m currently enjoying “Tom Kundig: Houses”
Rhi Ehara on 10.20.2008 at 14:30 PM
I am also in love with the Tom Kundig book, it is so incredibly inspiring.

I will have to go with “D.I.Y. Design It Yourself” by Ellen Lupton. I chose this book for 2 reasons:
1. It is the only book I could find that I actually own
2. It looks good sitting on my coffee table beside my gymnast sculpture

i’m excited for Transmaterial 2 which just came out but my pick would be “Transmaterial: A Catalog of Materials that Redefine our Physical Environment” by
Blaine Brownell
Finding new materials to use in projects is great!
Kayla on 10.20.2008 at 17:12 PM
oooh this is excting. Details in Contemporary Architecture (killory) is AMAZING. so key for today’s architect.
Patti on 10.20.2008 at 17:46 PM
I’d have to go with Michael Perry’s “Hand Job: A Catalogue of Type”…but “A Year of Mornings” sure looks beautiful!
Elizabeth on 10.21.2008 at 07:21 AM
LOVE Michael Perry’s Hand Job: A Catalog of Type.

I am a huge fan of Daniel Eatock- so of course his new book is my favorite!
Jamie Taylor on 10.21.2008 at 08:33 AM
I am tempted to say that one of their numerous architectural books is great (because they are) but I am going to site DIY Kids. The projects are ideal for Sunday school classes. It is so great to have it as a reference.
Jenni going to China on 10.21.2008 at 10:51 AM
Wow! That has totally given me inspiration for my trip to China. I think I am going to do some sort of project like that to remember my dream trip!

I don’t know that I’ve read any PA books, but this one looks great:
Minka: My Farmhouse in Japan – John Roderick
Happy Tuesday!

My favorite (and the only one I own) is “D.I.Y. Design It Yourself” by Ellen Lupton :) I loooooove the feel of this book, and by the look of A Year of Mornings, I’m going to relish in that as well. I’m sure all of P A Press’ books feel lovely. :)

DIY Kids looks like an awesome book.
Jenna on 10.22.2008 at 12:40 PM
D.I.Y Design it Yourself by Ellen Lupton. I love all the ideas and examples in this book, and love the fact that they are all in the setting of my school, MICA.
Katie on 10.22.2008 at 13:47 PM
This book, right here, my favorite. I’d love to own it!

Blurring the line between work goals and personal fulfillment, Handmade Nation is a reference text that I very frequently turn to for insights with clients and for pleasure reading on weekends. Really looking forward to the film, too.
gregory Frank on 10.24.2008 at 09:43 AM
most definitely Over and Over by Mike Perry
