I've got SO much going on right now, so instead of the usual calm Friday photo I'll share and email I got today that I'm very excited about:

DOMINO MAGAZINE TO PUBLISH ITS FIRST BOOK WITH SIMON & SCHUSTER


New York, N.Y., Friday, September 28, 2007 – Domino, the hip magazine about stylish living that has become one of Condé Nast’s most successful launches of all time, has signed a deal with Simon & Schuster to publish its first book, it was announced today. Entitled The Domino Book of Decorating, the book is being edited by Domino Editor in Chief Deborah Needleman, Creative Director Sara Ruffin Costello and Style Director Dara Caponigro. It is being packaged by the firm Melcher Media, which also produced the hugely successful Lucky Shopping Manual, from sister Condé Nast publication Lucky Magazine. Simon & Schuster will publish in Fall 2008.



The Domino Book of Decorating will feature the magazine's signature blend of beauty and comfort, glamour and practicality, and offer inspiration and advice for decorating every room of the home. Filled with floor plans, before-and-after shots, and a wealth of lush photography, it will include all of the magazine's popular elements: unexpected expert decorating tips, eclectic style juxtapositions, shrewd shopping strategies, and ideas drawn from sources as far apart as Louis XIV and Le Corbusier.

Needleman commented, “We’re creating The Domino Book of Decorating for a new generation of homeowners and renters, and hope to make it the new décor bible--a source of guidance, inspiration, and excitement.”

domino is the leading decorating magazine of our time. Launched by Conde Nast in 2005, the magazine quickly gained a cult following among young, discerning readers who are passionate about style in all aspects of their lives, and who understand that style is deeply personal. With its unique, friendly and sophisticated approach, domino offers readers the ideas, inspiration and resources to confidently mix styles, eras and price points and empowers them to create a happy home that is the perfect expression of who they are.
