Read Between the Lines. Or Read the Lines.


Here we are passed Black Friday and Cyber Monday and everything in between and I have yet to buy one gift.


If you are in a similar spot, Out of Print may provide a snappy stocking stuffer.  Journals, featuring the covers of some literary favorites, use the opening sentences of famous novels as "lines."

They're clever for coming up with them, you're clever for ordering them.  Here.

  4. I especially like the Rockwell Kent illustration of Moby Dick. My surrogate grandmother used to pose for him in the 1930's. (Kent--not Moby)

  5. My father used to have the happy habit of giving me first editions on my birthday. Doesn't get better.

    And oh, those Rockwell Kent designs for Moby Dick. So good.

  6. Had never heard of this place before. Just placed an order -- perfect gifts for a number of people on my list. Also, people should know that this also has a charitable component. A book is provided to a school in Africa for every item purchased -- the seven gifts I bought mean seven books for kids in Africa. Great concept!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a message. I am quite willing to publish remarks that criticize me, but will likely delete disparaging remarks targeted at someone else.
