So just a quick one before I go home. Faber finds is a new range of print on demand books from (surprise surprise) Faber. Basically the find out of print books and then offer them to be printed on demand. They don’t seem to have taken my suggestion to include John “Tripods” Christopher’s The Death Of Grass but they did send me a really nice personal email thanking me for my suggestion so maybe in the next batch…

Anyway, the cool thing is that every single book printed in the range will have a different cover, not every title, every actual book will be unique. All thanks to an algorithm that spews out randomly generated permutations within specified design parameters. The designer has a blog post on how it was done now that would be a great job.
