I Love It When You Talk Retro
Design by Jason Ramirez
Earlier today, Kottke.org guest editor Ainsley Drew linked to the most excellent Schott's Vocab: A Miscellany of Modern Words & Phrases. But for every neologism like recession beard, there's a retroterm like scuttlebutt. I can't wait to read this book. And yeah, the cover is OK too ;-)
Read Jacket Copy's interview with the author, and buy this book from Amazon.com

This is me, being a comic book reader, but that lettering in the balloons is totally off. The linespacing is way, way too big and the kerning on the letterforms is not as tight as it should be.
I spent a few seconds knocking together a replacement, because I'm that guy when it comes to how comics lettering is presented in broader media. Yes, I know.
I love the book cover. All of his art was so much fun because you could have substituted any quote for what said and it would still be awesome and ridiculous and look like it carried some significance.
sweet lovers... just omit the words (their sayings).. :-)
I think the title is stupid though and lacks creativity.
Isn't Francis Bacon: Incunabula
