In honor of all of the graphic novel events we're having at Skylight Books this week (Geoff Johns, Ariel Schrag, Esther Pearl Watson, Daniel Clowes), here's Darren with one of his recent favorites -- CRIMINAL (Deluxe Edition) by Ed Brubaker & Sean Phillips.

A couple of great pictures from other booksellers:

More awesomeness from Autumn and the folks at Third Place Books in Seattle


From Guinevere, Pat, and the folks at Vromans in Pasadena. I should have done this one last week for the Oscars!

For your Friday endowment. Er, uh...enjoyment: Gustavo's MANHOOD.

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?

My co-workers surprise me with the most phenomenal photos!

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!

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.
