From the publisher’s website:

Take an eerie journey through history as you meet over 180 human skulls and discover the stories behind them.

It is said that the skull is the only human body part that is as powerful dead as it was when living. Skulls is made up of a series of short illustrated stories laced with fascinating facts, historical and medical references and compelling anecdotes. The testimonials of thirty-plus skull collectors reveal what is known of – or speculated about – the often gruesome history of the skulls, as well as how they were acquired and what makes them so highly prized.

Designed by Laurence King’s team, the book is set in a combination of Euclid Flex and Adobe Caslon. On the book cover, Euclid Flex is set in all capitals with alternate S and K glyphs.

Euclid Flex is part of the Euclid family, available from Swiss Typefaces.

Japan is a comprehensive guide written by Hello Sandwich, a local blogger as popular as she is stylish. Design blogger and Japanophile Ebony Bizys, aka Hello Sandwich, has been living in Tokyo since 2010 and has discovered the best of this unique country. All key destinations are covered, including Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Hakone, Sapporo, Okinawa and Naoshima. Hello Sandwich Japan is for people who appreciate aesthetics, good food and a rich culture, and who will enjoy the neon madness of Tokyo as much as the Buddhist calm of Mount Koya.

From the editors of Sight Unseen, an anti-decorating book that champions a new approach to interiors—simply surrounding yourself with objects you love.

From Sight Unseen:

In How to Live With Objects, we’ll introduce you to four categories of objects – vintage, contemporary, handmade, and sentimental – and guide you through the process of finding and identifying good ones and incorporating them into your space. We'll teach you how to find and identify makers and styles you love, which questions to ask when purchasing objects, and why it’s okay to have at least one thing in your home that no one else understands.
