Before DART takes a summer break, we'd like to let you know about two books you'll want to have at your elbow. American Illustration 26 and American Photography 23, the must-have annuals that creative people look to for the top cutting-edge talents working today. We are pleased to announce our cover artists and designers, with a sneak peek at what's in store.

AI-AP is offering DART subscribers a special pre-publication discount price of $45 - that's 25% off the jacket price. And it's easy to order online for delivery in time for the holidays. The books will be launched at our annual gala on November 8^th in New York City - stay tuned for details.

After tomorrow's issue, we'll be off until September.
