Friendly Book Tour # 1
I started this blog because I love publications and had the experience of overseeing a magazine in college. When I graduated and was no longer creating something of my own, I started collecting creative publications to gather ideas in case another opportunity arrives . So far all the book tours on this blog are books from my personal collection. But many of my friends are also book collectors. They all have extensive libraries in a wide range of topics and focuses. I soon realized that I don't have to purchase all the books I want to photograph, I just have to raid, um visit, my friend's library. Here is to the first post of its kind.

My
best friend,
Diane, brought this book with her on our "staycation" and shared it with me while we were siting in my car waiting for my sister in Irvine. She got this publication as a gift. I just couldnt believe how perfect of a gift it was.
I wish I had gotten it for her (and maybe a copy for myself).
This is amazing.
Wowo.

Swallow Magazine is a pictorial art and food culture book based in New York.
The premiere issue is all about Scandinavia, my favorite European region of all time.
Swallow brings out the best of art, design, food and culture in a magazine format but with a hard cover and using only one ad sponsor.
