April 18, 2011: A Tribute to The Book Cellar
My friend Emily works at The Book Cellar in Brattleboro, VT. There was a horrible fire there on Sunday (and into Monday), and they have lost a whole lot. Books and fire and water don't get along in any circumstances. She sent me these photos that were taken a few months ago. They are great shots which also show their lovely store and their lovely staff. Send them lots of love and support as they figure out what's next for the Book Cellar.
Which half is Emily, which half is the book?
Just one cup of tea will be fine, thanks...

The front cover of Fifty-Fifty: New Hong Kong Writing...
And the back cover of the same book. Double whammy!

March 25, 2011: Chat Noir Books in Ontario
Chat Noir Books is my new favorite bookstore that I've never been to. They've totally taken the Corpus Libris bone and run with it. If you live in Canada (and Northern Ontario specifically), you should go there and buy books from them. Below are just a few of their awesome photos.
Connery has a little more hair than I'm used to seeing him with!
Thanks to Paul McLaren the lovely crew at Chat Noir Books -- keep 'em coming!

March 5, 2011: Lisa Yee!
I found a few from the archives that never got posted. We tried so hard to get all three Lisa Yee books to align. But the faces are all different sizes! It's not so bad. At least the facial expressions match up...

Great shot from Stephen Bishop, an artist, designer and developer based in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Thanks! Canadians are totally winning in the outside submissions category. Come on, everywhere else. Step it up! Next up, more Canadians.

I tried for a long time to get our store cat Franny to pose for a picture. She kept looking at the book and rubbing her face on it. Finally, a coworker suggested that I try it this way.
Cut-outs of cats are so much more likely to stay still!

February 16, 2011
After being on BoingBoing.net, Neatorama.com, and Spiegel.de, this blog got lots and lots of hits, which is totally awesome. I've had visitors from all 50 states and from 107 countries! Thanks for that, guys. BUT I also started to get submissions of photos from all over the world, which is way cooler. I have a total blast taking these photos, and I am thrilled that some of you can join me in the fun.
The first submission I'd like to share with you is from Yossi in Israel. For those of you who don't read Hebrew (like me), a translation of the title is "World's weirdest stories." How apt! I love this photo. What a great solution to larger-than-life body parts!
