The Best Book of All Time Is… (Newsletter #97)

Happy Friday! Let's roll into the weekend with a blow-out collection of links and other goodies!

The Links

• Must read: a status page and interactive timeline to follow along with the James Webb Space Telescope.
• Footprints discovered in New Mexico show humans were in North America about 5,000 years earlier than we previously thought.
• Cinematographers talked to IndieWire about what gear they used to shoot some of last year's most beautiful movies.
• The New York Times asked their readers what they considered the best book of all time, and they said…
• Speaking of books, how about the best book covers of 2021?
• The 2022 print typography report.
• Design trends to watch in 2022.
• Finally, Cartridge is a new (affordable!) font that is so slick I am scheming to find a place I can use it in my life today.

The Videos

The Tweets

I'm still having issues with tweets displaying correctly in the email, so here are screenshots (click on an image to go to the tweet on Twitter). Still working on it!
