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:)

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.

I would send a copy of each letterpress poster to its respective tweeter along with this cover letter to explain the project."
