Grab a spoon and get ready for some big SOUP updates!
On April 1, Alphabettes Soup: Feminist Approaches to Type was printed and bound at Gráfica Maiaduoro in Portugal. I was so fortunate to travel to sunny Porto with my daughter and hold the very first finished copy: a 2.4-pound, 400-page beauty! We held a soft launch on Thursday, April 2 at the Bikini Books HQ. Over forty people came, books were sold and signed, and it was an absolute thrill to share it with the world for the first time.
The book will officially launch at the Typographics Festival in New York City, June 26–27, where I am so honored to be speaking. In the meantime, you can purchase the book via the very awesome Draw Down Books. There will also be several events in various cities where you can snag a copy in person, maybe one near you?
