It is here. (And it is shipping!). It sits on my desk and I smile happily, as I flip the pages. After a year and half of working with HOW Books, we are proud and ecstatic to present you The Word It Book, in which Speak Up presents a gallery of interpreted words.
No small feat itself, the book’s publishing is really thanks to all of you who participate every month in Word It, sending us your artwork and having us share it with the world. This is something we look forward to every Sunday morning as we gather the weekly e-mails and go about the task of adding them to the site. Although, I have to admit, not as much fun as putting together the book and all of the necessary images we needed to generate for the book — and to prove how much fun we had, we have put together a behind-the-scenes look at the making of some of those images.
All in all, we found a way to include:
30 words
with their proper introductions
and some facts about the word in turn
150 different people
257 Word Its
26 feature interviews
79 interviews
1 tribute
and an open invitation for the word:
all of this in 224 pages at 8x8 inches
Enjoy!
Congratulations Bryony and Armin.
