I just finished reading You Shall Know Our Velocity! by Dave Eggers, finally, after falling in love with A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius about 3 or 4 years ago.
I haven't read any Eggers, but am familiar with McSweeney's and its focus on books made, crafted things themselves -- something thats lost on presses of large or moderate size.
I seem to remember a book they did where the author hand-illustrated the cover of each of the 10,000 copies of the book's first hardcover printing. That speaks volumes about how McSweney's is different I think.
Must get around to reading some Eggers, though.
