#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.

#1: Some very cool bookshelf projects to be found on Instructables.com. Originally I went there for the Inverted Bookshelf, but they also have a Hidden Door Bookshelf, a bookshelf made of encyclopedias, and an Invisible Bookshelf. There’s more, I’m sure, if you poke around the sidebar for related projects on that site.

#2: If you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch, you might find the video below of interest. It shows how to make a dock for the iPhone/iPod Touch out of nothing but binder clips. I don’t have the right sizes handy but the next time I’m at the dollar store I’m going to stock up and try it out. Be warned the video has a soundtrack (you won’t lose any information if you turn the sound off since the instructions are given as captions only):

#3: How could I not link to a series of posts called “How NOT To Be a Douchebag Author 101“? It’s a series of posts by a book editor on how authors can navigate the publishing world without being a jerk/pain about it.
