Don't know about you, but I can easily kill an hour browsing in a magazine shop (and not just the top shelf!) I took a wander into Narvesen last night and found a great new design mag called Elephant. It looks like the guys from Magma are behind it and their usual passion for visual culture is apparent from cover to cover. Well chosen content beautifully executed - well worth a look.- Link Elephant

A Road Trip Journal is an excellent book covering Stephen Shore's images from his road trip in the early seventies. Aside from the shots that capture small town America, there's the appeal of discovering someone's diary from the past and having a good snoop. Published by Phaidon.- Link A Road Trip Journal

Just finished “Told by Simon Aboud and Paul Wilson it’s an interesting book about the art of story telling. What makes it work is the simple breakdown of classic principles such as plot, character and exposition, which are then demonstrated through short stories. Furthermore the presentation of the stories is beautifully handled. Anybody working at the sharp end of branding will relate to story telling as an important skill, check it out -- Link Told

Just finished reading The Strain, It’s a no-brainer vampire yarn by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan. Del Toro throws down the spooky vampire bits, with touches of Cronos, Mimic and Blade 2, Hogan provides some juicy detail that holds it all together. Looks like it’s the first of a trilogy, that could easily become a future film after his Hobbit duties – a good summer read if like me you like anything by Del Toro.- Link The Strain
