PostSecret Book by Josh Rubin
By now you must have heard of PostSecret-- the ongoing community art project where people mail-in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard. It's a sometimes humorous and oftentimes chilling look at the things people never say, but really want to. Frank Warren, the creator of PostSecret, has compiled hundreds of the submissions in a hardcover book that will be released in December. Amazon is taking pre-orders.

The recently-released monograph "Graphic Works 1897-1910" accompanies the retrospective by the same name that is currently on display at the Neue Galerie New York, which focuses on...
