Bob Caruthers
Bob Caruthers is a professor of graphic design at West Texas A&M in Canyon, Texas. This is his amazing flickr set of graphic design ephemera collected through the years. And this set is a collection of his impressive body of work.

Equal Measure
Harry White Design has produced a measuring cup that provides a little extra commentary as you measure out your cooking ingredients. Captions such as "enough red wine to take you over the driving limit" and "vol. of bacteria living in your gut" are printed at the appropriate volume markers. It's even available now on Amazon. thnkx, KB

Area_2
Remember what a great book Area was? The PDC copy is falling apart from extensive use. Well, Phaidon has just released Area_2 and, nicely, it looks like they've put Ellen Lupton in charge of it. Unlike film sequels, design series often get better as they move forward. So, it's likely PDC Library will be adding Area_2 to our aquisition list.
