I've been a huge fan of McSweeney's - the online and printed literary journal founded by Dave Eggers - for years. Printed on a quarterly basis, each issue of McSweeney's Quarterly Concern is spectacularly creative in its theme and packaging, not to mention in the quality of the writing housed inside. The current issue (#28) focuses on fables and is made up of eight illustrated books packaged side by side to create the image seen above. So cool. Examples of other issues include one made to look like a pile of mail and a hardbound book wrapped in a sheet of newspaper comics...
And if you have the chance to peruse the McSweeney's site, don't miss the lovely and heartbreaking memories of the late, great David Foster Wallace. If you are not already familiar with his writing, you will want to be after learning more about him...
