Restarting after 2 years....
After deleting and then un-deleting...I've decided that I want to keep this little book blog around. I have a couple of ideas to incorporate here and they are:
1. Sharing book art
2. Sharing quotes about books, bookselling, writing, etc.
3. Promoting authors I personally know...
4. Possible tutorials on bookbinding and repair
5. Personal experiences with books and bookselling
