Hello friends and other readers!!
Luminous is looking for some new co-authors to post about book related stuff. Books you are reading, books you want to read, books you've and loved (or maybe hated), book news, book awards. You name it. All we ask is that, should you commit to posting, you post at minimum, once a month. Seriously, could you be less obligated? Of course, we would love it if you posted more than the minimum. Interested? Or interested in at least trying it out? We can give you a free trial posting period if you are curious. Just email me (Amber) or post to this response!

hey there! i couldn't find your e-mail address anywhere around the page, but i definitely would love to become a co-author! could you give me your e-mail so that we can talk about it? thanks a lot. looking forward to hearing from you.
hey bam, is "A short history of the printed word" the book you told me about? -- or is there another history of books book I should read?
A short history of the printed word it a very quick, brief and sometimes ADD version of the history of print. If you want a primer its a good book. If you feel like you have some basic history and factual information down (which I would guess that you do, because of your time at the library and your art background) you might find the coming of the book a bit intriguing.
You might also be interested in "A New Introduction to Bibliography" by Phillip Gaskell, which does a really great job of covering books and book production from 1500-1950. (Its probably my favorite of the lot.)
by the way, where did you get your copy of the phillip gaskell book? I couldn't find it on Abe books and on B&N they only had it used for $75! wtf?
You can get it at Oak Knoll Books for 40.00: http://www.oakknoll.com/detail.php?d_booknr=42436&d_currency=
they are a find press and have lots of really cool books on their site.
you might also check for used copies on amazon that are a bit cheaper. (although probably not much cheaper).
Hey Amber,
I just read this and I know you posted it a long time ago, and have most likely found additional bloggers, but if not I would love to participate if the offer is still on the table. my email is ktcunnningham@gmail.com. thanks!
