books.

Jonathan Whitfill

Books. They are such a special thing and as a member of a household of avid readers a huge part of my daily life. I am in short SURROUNDED by them. This is an ever present problem in NY readers lives. Our homes just do not have enough space for all our books. So I am always trying to come up with ways to deal with our books. So when I fell upon the Flickr page of the Abecedarian Gallery's amazing images of book art and altered books I swooned. And perhaps if I was surrounded by books as lovely as these I would not
need to "deal" with them.

a fiber book by Catherine Nash

So pick up a book and get reading or making.
