I really like this typographic book trailer made by a Belgian designer Stan Van Steendam for promotion of his new book. "O Echo' tells us about adventures of little boy Tuur in a city full of rhythmic sounds. Even though it is a children's book, I wouldn't mind to have it on my shelf:)

Tweeterpress
Texas student Wu Ch is printing tweets using wood type from the Wu Ch is printing tweets using wood type from the Rob Roy Kelly American Wood Type Collection. By letterpressing people's tweets she is aiming to counterbalance our fast-paced and impersonal world.
more about the project:
"One of the restraints I gave myself whilst outlining the project was to avoid new technology(Illustrator and InDesign) as much as possible in the production of the project. The idea is to take the digital into the analog, the current into the archaic, and recontextualize the analog version through digital platforms such as twitter and tumblr . I would send a copy of each letterpress poster to its respective tweeter along with this cover letter to explain the project."

73 letterpress
Ian Coyle, a designer and creative director living in Portland, Oregon, decided to print his daily thoughts for 73 straight days. "Some were random, some pertinent, it was a great way to end each day." Printed on 1950's Asbern Proof Press using newsprint and wood type. Some of them sound as New Year's resolutions to me.
Enjoy the collection of 73 letterpress thoughts!
