Our friends at Sappi Fine Paper have teamed with 826 for the 2012 edition of their annual design journal, The Standard. This year’s edition, is packed with gorgeous photos, illustrations, and typography, all inspired by the themes of the 826 storefronts. They also produced a gorgeous poster of quirky 826 characters to provide some inspiration when you don’t have time to voyage to a distant universe (or our stores around the country). You can order the book and poster together here.

This is a limited edition—once they’re gone, they’re gone.
