Atypyk by Ami Kealoha
Like a cross between Duchamp and Archie McPhee, the French company Atypyk makes witty, conceptual gifts that play on everyday objects. My personal history with the company dates back to 2003 when I visited their Paris studio and Ivan Duval (one-half of the Atypyk team) regaled me with stories and sent me home with a Cowstick, a sticker kit that transforms a refrigerator into a cow.
Founded in 1999, the company has a trove of products worth checking out, but Kill Time book, full of doodle-like "exercises" (images Daily 2.3.5 (tel. (212)-334-9728).

Ice Cream
Phaidon has a knack for publishing massive overviews that inform, educate, become trusted resources for years to come, and—as is the case with their "cream" series on emerging artists—boast amazing packaging as well. The latest edition, Ice Cream, is no exception with its rainbow mylar cover that takes us back to our sticker collection days. Fortunately, what's inside the cover doesn't disappoint, including some...

Hoopla
The black sandpaper book jacket says it all. Who else but the famed Miami-based advertising firm Crispin Porter+Bogusky (CP+B) would create a cover designed to collect DNA for passing on to future generations? It's this type of wildly inventive thinking backed by a playfully ironic attitude that has made CP+B one of the most commonly recognizable names in the field over the last five...

Factory Records: The Complete Graphic Album
During its heyday in the 80's, Factory Records worked with some of the most brilliant graphic artists around, including Peter Saville, Den Kelly, Mark Farrow, 8VO and Barbara Kruger.

The upcoming new book, Factory Records: The Complete Graphic Album,is the first...
