Someone had to do it — and James Bridle is the first.

My Life in Tweets is a bold experiment in self-publishing that compiles two year's worth of Bridle's riveting, raw, and (dare one call them) unbridled tweets into handsomely packaged, hardcover book form.

From digital @'s to printed bound typeset, Bridle's big tweetbook of "incidentals...casual asides...[and]...remarks and responses" is garnering attention from across the Twitterverse and beyond.

But Bridle admits that "most of it doesn’t mean anything, certainly not to anyone else, but it makes physical a very real time and effort." And with even newspapers disappearing from their tactile printed form, sometimes you just want to be able to preserve that pitch-perfect retweet for posterity. 

And here's the photographic evidence to prove it.

Indelible tweets FTW. Now, who's next?
