The Ministry of Type has a post up about a new imprint from Faber & Faber called Faber Finds which brings out of print books back from oblivion. This is only possible with Print on Demand so books are only published once they've been ordered, but more intriguingly, this allows each Faber Finds book to sport a unique computer-generated cover design; PostSpectacular details the process of creating a “design machine” capable of generating the infinite "number of unique designs, one for each single book ever printed in this range." Everything about this venture is fascinating and the way Marian Bantjes' border designs are assembled is remarkable.
