Printed Matter, as its name suggest it, doesn’t have any digital book yet. <br> But in a Post-Digital period even printed books are informed by the digital culture. I’ve found some books (well, digital images of books) that could fit into the category “books that relate to digital culture”. An example I really like is the FAQNP, a very specific zine dedicated to the meeting of queer and so-called nerd culture. From its title onwards, FAQNP refers to digital and programming culture. The magazine’s name stands for “FAQNP is A Queer Nerd Publication”, a recursive acronym, the use of which is embedded in programming culture (Like GNU: GNU's Not Unix). The magazine also borrows the graphic vocabulary of this culture: numbered lines (a code shared with the layout of published theater plays), monospaced type, a decorative/structural use of punctuation and markup glyphs < > / \ * + , but also of the black rectangle ❚, which marks the cursor’s position in the interfaces of command lines at the end of each article. / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ To be continued…
