Can't remember what book this is from, alas!

In the absence of a Ulysses Corpus Libris photo celebrate Bloomsday, I've decided to post perhaps the best Corpus Libris photo submitted yet. Congrats again to Autumn and the folks at Third Place Books.



Really, guys, this is incredible.

Here's one for those of you who were at BEA this past weekend:




And here's a great photo from Hans and the good folks at Micawbers in St. Paul, Minnesota. It's an important reminder that the "corpus" need not be limited to the homo sapiens species!

Check out this amazing photo of an incredibly obscure book that I'm sure none of you have ever seen before...

Ah, nothing says spring like babies -- they're sprouting up everywhere!

Thanks to the folks at Arcana (fellow Angelenos. Or Santa Monicians?) for sending me some great photos!

April 25, 2009: The Granta Oath

I do hearby solemnly swear that Granta is one of the best literary magazines around. These photos were taken post-Day-1 of the LA Times Festival of Books, at the party thrown by Granta and hosted by Equator Books in Venice, California.


This is John Freeman, the American editor of Granta, holding the latest issue of Granta. How cool is that!


This is Lizzie, my very obliging girlfriend, who accompanied me to a party where she knew nary a soul.


And this, of course, is me.
Do oaths count if you're missing your pinky?

Thanks to Candace, from the blog Book Booker Bookest! As she mentioned, I don't have that many photos from kids books. So, consider this an invitation to help me fix that -- send your kid lit Corpus Libris photos!

Getting our hands dirty at Skylight Books on a Saturday night...

Awesome shot, Autumn! Thanks for the follow-up submission! Does this mean that we booksellers are going to have to get beefier and beefier in order to keep up?

Here are a couple of images that people turned me on to. Thanks Mashanda and Elyse! Alas, I had a hard time tracking down the original sources, but there are links to the blogs that they were found on.
