Good things come from Twitter.

For the record my life is not consumed by Twitter, although I do realize I mention it a lot lately. Its a communication tool, so get over it, it's here to stay. Plus it's not so bad when you receive fun packages because you won something via Twitter. As most people know I am a book nerd, yes, I even like the smell of a good old book with aged paper. With this interest naturally I follow @ChronicleBooks. Last week they mentioned if you retweet their tweet, you would be entered to win a poster for Pictoral Webster's. The message was a link for Give-Away they are having for one "a fine press edition" of the book.

To celebrate the release of our new line of Pictorial Webster's books and gift products, Chronicle Books is thrilled to offer you the chance to win a fine press edition of Pictorial Webster's hand-bound in leather with an engraved book cover & letter-press interior, including gold leaf and hand stamped edges & end papers.


The book sounds amazing and I entered of course! It uses way to many of my favorite things and I have my fingers crossed I hit a lucky streak (ran out of luck, didnt get the AIGA ticket) and that beautiful book adorns my shelves in the future. Ok, ok back to what I won... so I retweeted the Give-Away tweet and won 1 of 5 posters for the Twitter Give-Away! Pretty much made my day last week because I usually don't win anything. Today when I got back from work, I found a cute little packing tube from Chronicle Books waiting for me. The poster is very fun and its color scheme is very popular our household. I am working on redoing my studio space, so I will have to find a spot for it. This is going to sound silly, but I think one of my favorite things on the poster is the rounded corners! I am a fan of details, duh, plus I don't think I have any other posters with rounded corners. Check out the poster below and if you would like to enter the Give-Away for "a fine press edition" click here.

P.S.
Sorry for the not so great photos.
Taken from my iPhone because my camera is MIA due to the rearranging of the studio.

I see a gloriously ornate gold frame in that poster's future...
