How Cool Is McSweeney's?

Got McSweeney's Volume 27 in the mail today and as usual the design is beyond cool - it's 3 small books in a really simply yet hipply designed sleeve. One of the three books is a graphic novel (for lack of a better term - but who needs terminology anymore?) called Autophobia by Art Spiegelman (think I'll be getting that signed when i see him at BookExpo next week!). It's crazy, creative, and in the McSweeney's fashion I've begun to take for granted - really flippin cool.


Also in the trio is a book of short stories including pieces by Jim Shepard and Stephen King.

Ah, the nerds heyday, sweet ass books in the mailbox.......
