Courtesy of friends and internet rambling, I’ve seen a number of interesting book sites this week. So I thought I’d pass a few along to you!
An offshoot of the Reading the Past blog, Reusable Cover Art is a collection of book covers that incorporate the same image into their cover art. Some of the juxtapositions [...]
There’s a lovely essay by Joseph Epstein titled “In and Around Books,” which playfully parses the dedications, acknowledgments, and blurbs that have evolved into an expected part of publishing. To which I would add: ads!
A couple years ago, the New York Times launched its Paper Cuts blog with a fabulous collection of book ads from [...]

There seems to be an online community for every conceivable interest these days. Some of the most amusing, in my book, are online havens for grammar nerds. Oh, the squabbling over minutiae! Oh, the factions: prescriptivists battling descriptivists! It’s an anthropology graduate student’s dream come true!
