OK, Because they seem to be very popular, plus, we all need a good laugh every now & then, here are some hilarious “Literary Book Humor” photos. Enjoy, and please remember to share them with your friends!

PANTHEON BOOKS will be setting-up this year at the San Diego Comic Con in booth # 1515. The event dates are July 12th-15th, 2012. Chip Kidd will be there every day at noon to greet people and sign books or whatever you might bring. I mean, Chip will literally sign anything, FREE!! This year the main two books that Pantheon is really excited about are BUILDING STORIES by Chris Ware and THE HIVE by Charles Burns. Last week we posted an excellent “Chris Ware” Video Interview where he discusses his brand-new Graphic Novel. You can check that out by clicking HERE. Also, if you need ANY information about the SDCC Event then please click HERE too. Hope to see you there!! Oh yeah, one last thing, down below is a map of the Convention Center to give you an idea of where the booth is. This crazy event is HUGE!

OK, The “Official Tumblr for Fans of Chuck Palahniuk” is now open & the entries have been completely crazy! But we would not expect anything less from the guy who wrote: Fight Club, Damned, Pygmy, Lullaby, Bonsai, & many more. His new book, “Invisible Monsters Remix” was just released to rave reviews. So, if you’re a big fan of his be sure to check this out, CLICK HERE!

If you love the look, style, & design of old Vintage Book Covers then you’re gonna go totally crazy over these new T-Shirts from “Out of Print” Clothing. You’ll recognize many of these for the true classics they are: The Great Gatsby, Animal Farm, Treasure Island, 1984, Charlotte’s Web, Death of a Salesman, & many more. In addition to spreading the joy of reading through their tees and accessories they also acknowledge that many parts of the world don't have access to books at all. So, to change that, for every item they sell they donate one book to “Books For Africa”. Check out their site, just CLICK HERE!

Presented here are just a few random “Book Lover” Humor Photos we have come across while wasting our life on the Internet. The one that says, “Never Judge a Book By It’s Movie” is so true. Remember this simple Life Rule, “The Book is Always Better Than the Film”.

Random House just re-released Michael Chabon’s Pulitzer Prize-Winning Novel, “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay” in Soft Cover Paperback ( it’s the one shown on the left, the other Cover on the right is for the eBook Edition & Audio Book ). So, we thought we would present this wonderful video of a Speaking Lecture Mr. Chabon did at the Dominican University of California in 2010. In it, Michael talks almost exclusively about the creation of this iconic novel & how he came about writing it, it’s very entertaining for sure & lasts for about an hour. So, go fix yourself some Popcorn, grab a drink, get comfy, and enjoy.

Here’s a quick post to share this photo of some amazing Dinnerware a Friend of ours named David saw on the Internet the other night. It’s a very clever design idea & would also make a lovely table setting… that is, if you’re crazy goo-goo about Books and Reading! OH YEAH, Here are some really cool Pieces of Tableware, mostly Dinner Plates & Saucers, designed by GOLDBOOK CHINA to look just like opened books laying on a table. Click the Company name for availability & ordering. Order me a few sets while you’re at it, Christmas is always right around the corner.

OK, I don’t mean for today to be “Video Day” here at CHIPKIDD.COM ( Ha Ha! ). But while surfing through YouTube last night I came across this extremely excellent video of the Opening Sequence to THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO Movie (2011) and the visuals are just completely incredible! It reminds me of the ones you see in many James Bond 007 films. It’s pretty cool. Plus, the modern-day cover version of Led Zeppelin’s Classic, “The Immigrant Song” ( circa 1970 ), is great too.

WAIT! THERE’S MORE! I should also note that this movie is based on the Stieg Larsson Trilogy Book Series published by Random House Knopf. The book covers were art directed by Peter Mendelsund & down below is a link to the special “Millennium Trilogy Deluxe Boxed Set” published after the huge success of these books. I mention it here because Peter did an excellent video for it that you can see ON the Amazon page. I wanted to share that too but you can’t embed or share it. You have to watch it on Amazon. So please be sure to check it out.

Elysabeth Alfano, the Host of the excellent Web TV Series “Fear No ART” from Chicago, sits down with acclaimed Graphic Novelist, Chris Ware, in his home library for an understanding of this influential artist. Now, while parts of the interview cover Chris Ware’s entire career they also use many of the graphics that can be seen in his next book, “Building Stories”, which has a release date from Pantheon Books around October 2nd, 2012.

“Building Stories” imagines the inhabitants of a three-story Chicago apartment building: a 30-something woman who has yet to find someone with whom to spend the rest of her life; a couple, possibly married, who wonder if they can bear each others company another minute; and the building’s landlady, an elderly woman who has lived alone for decades. Taking advantage of the absolute latest advances in wood pulp technology, Building Stories is a book with no deliberate beginning nor end, the scope, ambition, artistry and emotional prevarication beyond anything yet seen from this artist or in this medium, probably for good reason.
