Selby invasion

Todd Selby of TheSelby.com, a blog that portrays creative people in their homes, has released a book with more than 30 new habitats, including those of a few famous figures such as Karl Lagerfeld but mainly of lesser-known hipster types around the world. The unconventional layout and collection of drawings, stickers, and personal notes make this a must-have for anyone on the quest for inspiration. Costs $35.

Welcome to Modelland

What sounds like any teen boy's dream is an upcoming novel trilogy, written by model mogul, Tyra Banks, who will leave her TV show next year. The story of her "drop-dead beautiful, kick-butt fierce" 'Intoxibellas' with superpowers sounds like something between science fiction and America's Next Top Model. Modelland will be released by Random House and the brand new Bankable Books, the new branch of Tyra's Bankable Enterprises.
