First Twitter Hardcover Published

James Bridle of London has collected two years worth of Twitter posts in a hardcover book via the print-on-demand service, Lulu. "My life in Tweets" is a sleek hardback which permanently preserves a ephemeral set of posts.

Dear, dear, dear, dear diary....

No, you can't read his Twitter feed online; he's protected his updates.

And you can't buy the book. This really is vanity-press stuff. Bridle writes,

This is a one-off, and will remain so. It's not for sale, not least because the NYRB would have design/copyright issues, and I'd look like the world's biggest narcissist.
