I swear I don’t go looking for things to distract me (or you), but here’s another list:
#1: If you enjoyed the link a few weeks back on making unusual bookshelves, you’ll like this LifeHacker round up of bookworm hacks that have been featured on this site (including the bookshelf one I linked to a few weeks ago).
#2 For those of you who are in the UK and dying for a Kindle, you may just get your wish this fall (er, I mean ‘autumn’). No word on when it comes to Canada–but I’m quite happy with my iPod Touch for book reading.
#3: If the idea of destroying any book for any reason gives you hives, you may want to skip this link: Artist Su Blackwell makes art out of old books.
#4: Barnes & Noble recently offered their readers the B&N eReader software for free plus six ebooks. Problem? The six ebooks are in the public domain but B&N has put DRM on them. Say what?
#5: From my inbox (hey, stranger things have happened): If you’re in the US and you’re looking for a used book sale (or having one), there’s a website for that. Let me know if you find it useful.
Thanks for these links, especially the last one.
I found six book sales within twenty miles of me, all were library related. This could be very dangerous! When I worked at a library I seemed to leave with boxes of books at our sales, no self control.
Plus, I was excited but confused over the whole B&N reader, but now have doubts I’ll even bother.

Loved the Su Blackwell art, and have just been distracting myself at Lifehacker. Don’t know whether to thank you or blame you!

Heh. You’re welcome and I’m sorry.
