Click here to go to a post written by Robert Newman for the Society of Publication Designers about the Babylon Falling website.

The San Francisco Bay Guardian recently honored Emory Douglas with a Lifetime Achievement award as a part of their annual Goldies awards. There’s also a nice little mention of the Babylon Falling bookstore.
