Ryan McGinley's latest book, Moonmilk, is now out for pre-order and will surely sell out fast. I have to say that the photographs from the book are just so mind blowing you can't even believe they're real and that they were just a stop on one of his annual summer drives cross country. X - Jen

Jane & Jeremy have all sorts of things we're coveting, like these handsewn books made from used envelopes. We'd love to get our grubby lil fingers on these.
If you don't hear from us for the rest of the day, it's because this just blew our mind and we had to go stand in the parking lot for a while. (Via The Second Pass.)
