An extra day of BookTV goodness!
I have the dvr set for…
Eric Burns talking about his book Infamous Scribblers,
Artist Donald Jackson talking about a brand-new hand-illuminated Bible,
and David Kamp talking about his book The United States of Arugula.
Merry Christmas!
Well that was relativley painless. Those folks over at WordPress sure are smart. All went according to plan and I even installed one of those “math comment field” spam blocker deals.
Let me know if it gives you any trouble.
While all this was backing-up/updating I watched the New York Times Book Review tour that aired on BookTV this past weekend. Pretty cool if I do say so. That would be a most awesome job to have. Did you see the pile of books that will never appear in the pages of the NYTBR? HUGE!!!! They said they get some 1,000 books submitted per week and only review 30-40 per weekend. Wow.
Makes me want to go read So Many Books by Gabriel Zaid again.
so the site will be off and on all night tonight. The spammers apparently have my number. I haven’t been this ticked off in a long time.
I just deleted 290 comments, carpet bomb style. So if I trashed your comment, I’m sorry. I hope you’ll keep coming back to check us out.
Hopefully everything will go smoothly and we’ll be up and running in the morning.
Here is another great idea for a blog! The Independent Bookstore Photo Gallery posts visitors’ pics of their favorite local independent bookstore haunts. They even post a little write up about each place. It’s sort of a super-flickr group or something. Should be fun to keep up with.
We’ll be contributing Reed’s Bookloft and The Alabama Booksmith shortly.
The blogosphere could use a little southern lit love!
