Ladies and Gentlemen, I am happy to announce that after being in a coma for more than 4 months, our beloved Corpus Libris has been revived! And like Lance Armstrong, it's coming back stronger than ever!



The Corpus Libris revival was in part due to some great submissions I've gotten in the last few weeks, so don't worry, they will get posted! But first I'm going to reach into the reserve stacks (librarians, how do you like that?) and introduce you to the amazing folks at Danbury Public Library in Connecticut. They have been doing a Corpus Libris-like project of their own and they have an incredible set of photos that put me to shame. Here are a few, and check out their Flickr stream for the full glory.

This is an old AMOK catalog that my new coworker Gustavo had lying around. AMOK, in its glory days, was just down the street from where Skylight Books is located today. Hence, Gustavo calls this photograph "Tribute to Old Los Feliz" How awesome is that?

Ben Lee had to leave Skylight for greener pastures, but it wasn't because of the trauma of this photo. I don't think. We miss you, Ben Lee!

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!
