Such a cute idea. Rainoff books are curating a temporary pop-up bookstore from July 1st till 14th at shop 25/114 Burton Street in Darlinghurst. Expect to find lots of pretty publications.

We’re big fans of Where the Wild Things Are and can’t wait for the movie release, so when Ed Jo stumbled across we love you so; a gem of a site dedicated to all the influences that have helped make the movie a reality, we were tickled pink. Our fave bit has got to be Obama reading WTWTA at reading group.

We love the dark and whimsical ways of artist Lang Leav aka Akina. Her latest creation Charlie’s Widow (The sinister sequel to the Teddy Bear's Picnic) is a handcrafted adult storybook set to be released for Valentine’s Day. If you’re a fan of her dark ways, you can pre order your loved one a copy now.

Patti Smith fans rejoice. Just Kids is Patti’s first book of prose, which offers a never-before-seen glimpse of her remarkable relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe in the epochal days of New York City and the Chelsea Hotel in the late sixties and seventies.  Patti promised Robert, a day before his death, that she would write their story and Just Kids is the honest and moving result.

Would love to get our hands on a copy of this book. Angus Hyland was commissioned by Jacob Lehman at Rizzoli to design a book to accompany Fantastic Mr Fox the latest film by Wes Anderson. Angus was given a whole bunch of stuff to work with including Wes Anderson’s drawings, along with his annotated scripts; pictures of props, sets and puppets; the Chaffin illustrations; stills from the film; concept designs and character development drawings; material swatches for costumes; and technical drawings and interviews with Wes and Eric Anderson, Jason Schwartzman and Liccy Dahl. The result looks pretty impressive.
