For those who are not quite ready to trade in proper books for a kindle!
Swell Accessories has announced that they are making covers for all Kindle models using old books. The BookCase is made from vintage hardback book covers “lovingly sorted and hand picked for their size and interest.” The repurposed covers offer those with an e-reader the opportunity to still feel like they’re holding a book when they’re reading.
Design Indaba reports that each unique BookCase for Kindle is handmade in Durban, South Africa.

Rizzoli Bookstore, New York, NY. The flagship store was first established at 712 Fifth Avenue in 1964 and moved into our current location in 1985. The store now occupies three floors of a historic townhouse at 31 West 57th Street, a beautiful setting filled with nooks and crannies that makes Rizzoli Bookstore a welcoming destination that overflows with a treasure trove of books waiting to be discovered.

A great book to take you to Renaissance Florence…
Currently reading. I think I’ve been reading it for a week or so now. “This book is like real life!” I said when reading the summary. I just started part II. I’m excite.

“This book is something interesting. I loved it: loved Adamsberg and his unorthodoxy, loved the story that moved in (chalk?) circles until it resolved. I’ll definitely be reading more Vargas in the future, and I recommend you do the same.” - Jenny from Shelf Love

Great book - depressing but insightful look into colonial Africa.
Follow-up with the Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver.
