Flavorwire has collected a list of what they deem the ‘20 Most Beautiful Bookstores in the World’.

Fantastically detailed illustration work from Na Zhao.

Maria Fischer (Graphic Designer based in Munich) has this lovely book project as part of her portfolio.

The book (‘Thoughts on Dreams’), presents a collection of psychological, literary, and scientific commentary on dreams and dream theories.

The format of the book itself creates its own commentary on the structure of dreams, and presents the reader with a variety of coloured threads, which lead them through the book, and vary the narrative depending on which they choose to follow.

Neil Gower is one of the four illustrators who worked on the Penguin Boys’ Adventure series released at the start of this year (or nearer the end of last year I think).

Very keen on his cover art for The 39 Steps, which I’ve spent about an hour scouring the internet for a high resolution image of. I couldn’t find one, so instead here’s a slightly pixelated version that doesn’t do the image any justice.

Mikael Floysand has put together this brilliant and thorough identity, promotional posters & editorial design for the upcoming new Deichmanske Library in Bjørvika, Oslo.

What’s great is the extensive detail Floysand goes into applying his identity to. Makes the project so much tighter to look through.

For a larger description of the project as well as many more photos I strongly suggest you click here.

DDB in Budapest are a design company with some really excellent thinking. This campaign advertising McDonald’s ‘M’ burger/sandwich is no exception.

They’ve made the burger out of books! The tagline?

A sandwich for experts.
