It's the coffee-table book for people with tiny coffee tables! Paul Hornschemeier's Artists Authors Thinkers Directors collects Paul's stylistically diverse sketchbook portraits from his Daily Forlorn blog in a cute, compact hardcover, with brief writeups in the back explaining why each subject was chosen. It surely includes some of your favorite creative people. And when you're done enjoying it, you can leave it laying around your house to class up the place and show off your excellent taste.
This book is due to arrive in November or early December; pre-order now so you'll have plenty of time to wrap it up for stocking-stuffing season.
