Afrodisiac Book Wins 2009 AIGA Nod

This is all through the publisher, and I lack a background when it comes to the book design world to provide appropriate context, but apparently the AdHouse Books effort Afrodisiac was selected by the group AIGA -- which they say means "the professional association for design" even though the letters don't match up -- as one of the 50 best-designed books for the period January 1 to December 31, 2009. Again, according to the publisher's letter, this means the book will be part of the group's "searchable visual database" along with others cited, it will be part of an exhibit in New York that will then travel, and it will enter a couple of collections organized by their winning this honor.

I think that's a fine-looking book, and I enjoyed the comics inside by Brian Maruca and Jim Rugg, so any honor it wins is okay by me. The publisher also mentions that the book sold out of its first printing and books from a second printing should be available in a couple of weeks.
