NPR did a piece with the authors of this book, and it seems really cool. The photography is supposed to be amazing, and the accompanying CD would also be very interesting.

I now own this book, and it is fantastic.

It's a compilation of a bunch of artists' drawings and creations inspired by the heyday of gaming.

I can only hope they continue to put out more books of the same ilk.

An interesting take on the reference book. 45 writers take words such as arroyo, badlands, eddy, and the like and define them.

That's it. These writers are known though for their "intimate connections" to particular places.

Sounds really cool; sort of an American landscape dictionary.

This site hosts tons of free eBooks that are formatted for virtually any device imaginable.

Very cool indeed.

This is a really cool flash based story/comic. Each panel contains pull-out "tabs" that make the objects in each scene move, similar to children's books.

Very well done.

This company puts out guides to major cities. And they're not just for tourists, hence the name. They contain everything from the city's transportation system to government infrastructure, along with the requisite shops and eateries.

There's no Dallas, but the other cities are most likely worth it.

This was one of the first things I saw on Lifehacker, and subsequently made me realize just how awesome Lifehacker is.

But really, this is a nifty DIY trick.
