good reads: the selby.
the selby is right up there on my top ten list of favorite websites. i love todd selby’s candid photography and the personal glimpses into his subjects’ eccentric and eclectic homes and studios. who doesn’t love a chance to snoop into creative thinkers’ homes?
now, the selby has a fantastic new coffee table book out, aptly entitled, the selby. i could pour over this book for days and days, and have a good feeling i’ll be coming back to the selby time after time for little nuggets of grand inspiration. here’s a look at the selby.
What a great book! Those yellow chairs are amazing!
Ooooo, this looks like a goody!
One of the rockinest stars in the interwebby sky…
This looks great and the colors are fantastic. I love those yellow chairs!
Ooo I love this. I love that the typography appears to be watercolored. I’m dying to have the rough wood backsplash in my own kitchen.
I love this blog, I’ll have to check out the book!
Bought this last week and have loved it! Selby is incredible!
I’ve been meaning to get it! Now I must, thanks for the reminder, it looks good. Love the “MOON”!
Oh, Wow! Thanks for sharing, it’s even better than online- Now I can take The Selby with me bound and printed! It’s in my Amazon cart now :)
Oh I love the Selby. I just might have to get this book. PS – We are moving in above your old apartment! No copper fireplace but it’s a great place.
this book is just a little slice of heaven, and i’m going to peruse again in bed tonight!
jayni – congrats! they have a great view!
I agree. I love The Selby
I love this book, just picked it up a couple of days ago…I can’t get enough of it!
xo
i love it i love it ….. what great things : )
The Selby has been heavily promoting this book on his blog every week. One of his methods is posting very select photos that are exclusive to the book and cannot be found online. I HOPE that you didn’t post any of these exclusive photos as that would be so rude to the photographer. It’s not enough to just credit the photographer. If he didn’t want those on the interweb, it’s for a good and understandable reason. I hope he granted you the permission.
I’m only disappointed because recently, Frank Features, a South African editorial agency, took their stunning photographer and stylist portfolios off their site. I shot an email over there quickly to ask if this was a backlash to poor blogger practice. Unfortunately, yes, it was. Smart PR decision or not, I’m saddened the the rest of the world won’t be able to view their work now.
lynn – if todd was upset by the post, he didn’t say so. if anything, i am promoting the book as well, and he’s more than likely made a few sales because of this post. most publishers ask me to share their book images, and send me the books so i can do so.
if he is upset for any reason at all, i would take it down in a heartbeat. i believe he follows my tweets, so he probably knows i loved, and shared his book with the readers.
