• Poppytalk loves Mimi Zeiger’s ‘Tiny Houses’ book: “When I first got my hands on Zeiger’s book, I was entranced. Tiny Houses is also a tiny book with large content. At just 7×7 inches, it profiles 36 small homes from all over the world.”
• Slate on YouTube success: “It’s tough to argue that hitting it big on YouTube is anything more than dumb luck.”
