These Birds Walk subscription series 2 contains four artists books by photographers Todd Hido, Marianne Mueller, Abner Nolan, and Alex Soth.  For the small price of $100 (the more expensive signed edition of 50 is sold out), one of the unsigned/hand-numbered edition of 650 books will be delivered to you every 3 months. A gift that keeps on giving. While you’re at it, think about picking up the first series as well which features Mike Brodie, Jim Goldberg, Ari Marcopoulos, and Paul Schiek.

This past summer, Shepard Fairey redesigned the covers of the penguin classic books 1984 and Animal Farm.  In a great move, these cover designs are now available as signed prints, each in an edition of 200. When they sell out, at least get a copy of the book.  Best 1984 cover ever.
