Book Pickings is a fantastic installation currently up in the New York Public Library, a collaboration between three past CreativeMornings speakers: Maria Popova, Kelli Anderson, and Debbie Millman.

Featuring four reading lists chosen by Maria, the installation contains books on wisdom on writing, great reads about New York City, heart-and brain-stirring books on pets and animals, and timeless treats for young readers. Each book is lovingly hand-cut from paper by the über-talented Kelli and her team, and the writing is all lettered by the always amazing Debbie.

Jacob Krupnick (another CM speaker!) of Wild Combination (the team behind Girl Walk // All Day) photographed the process and filmed this beautiful timelapse of the assembly.

If you’re in New York, stop by the NYPL bookstore sometime to see the installation in its analog glory. Read more about the project here.
