    Some more great news on the Arcade Mania front: I’m very happy to announce that the book is getting a French edition! The scheduled release date is June, and it will be published by Pix’n Love.

    Really love this project by Joi Ito: Freesouls, a book of portraits taken by him. Pictured above is the “Luxury Boxed Set,” but even just the book alone features a really nice design. The first offering is composed of a limited print run of 1024 (50 for the boxed set). You can order it here.
