First 3D-printed book cover - picture 1

We hear about 3D printing here and there, and it was just a matter of time to see a beauty of the 3D combined with a beauty of a book.

The first 3D-printed book is here! It was designed by Helen Yentus, art director from Riverhead Books, a publishing house that has just announced the book.

The 3D element is in fact a slip case. Made on a MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer, it gives the 3rd dimension (and a lot of buzz) to a limited edition of Chang-Rae Lee’s novel On Such a Full Sea, Amazon’s Best Book of January 2014.

Helen Yentus says:

The sleek design is fitting for a novel that takes place in the future. “We’re looking for new ways to present our books that give people the opportunity to have something to hold onto that’s not available in digital form

Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

by ELIZABETH GILBERT

Once upon a time, there was a man named Jack Gilbert, who was not related to me – unfortunately for me. 

Jack Gilbert was a great poet, but if you’ve never heard of him, don’t worry about it. It’s not your fault. He never much cared about being known. But I knew about him, and I loved him dearly from a respectful distance, so let me tell you about him.

Jack Gilbert was born in Pittsburgh in 1925 and grew up in the midst of that city’s smoke, noise, and industry. He worked in factories and steel mills as a young man, but was called from an early age to write poetry. He answered the call without hesitation. He became a poet the way other men become monks: as a devotional practice, as an act of love, and as a lifelong commitment to the search for grace and transcendence. I think this is probably a very good way to become a poet. Or to become anything, really, that calls to your heart and brings you to life.
