Nice post about the zine at Ada Books!

I just noticed this morning that the Ada Books blog posted a short blurb about Electric Ant #1: http://www.ada-books.com/blog.htm

Although I haven't been, I hear from numerous folks that Ada Books is THE go-to place for indie comics, zines, and minis in Providence (near Brown and RISD).  They now are stocking some copies of the issue...  Very excited to be included at this cool shop!

dang i just read ada's shout out. pretty nice, pix n all. i would LOVE to check out this spot one day. tangent: have you noticed that there's been this huge surge in the simple but practical use of hand-holding-book-and-flipping-thru-pages photos?

I know, right? Alice and I have talked about the library in our imaginary house. Yeah, I agree about Providence and this place in particular. I definitely wanna find an excuse to make it up there (I was in Boston to visit colleges during senior year of high school, but that's it)

Oh yeah! Everyone uses that nowadays! For me it's because I'm too lazy to use a scanner. I think the big bump was that Miranda July site for her last book with the photos of hand-written text on her stove and fridge in whiteboard marker. There is a site that always does their poster product pics as a guy holding it in front of a white sheet. Oh yeah, manystuff.org. Their stuff can be snooty but I like the way they photograph books.

Oh, also! I got a book all about international paperback design from the incredibel art book store near roppongi hills (open til 4am on weekend) AOYAMA BOOK CENTER, and that book has photographs of pages instead of scans too. So pretty. http://www.aoyamabc.co.jp/43/
