My daughter wrote a little book titled: My Mommy Duz Things. It described what I did. Each day.<BR/><BR/>I wonder what we will do as digital takes over. I can't tuck that in my wallet -- digital works. This one has been with me for 20 years.

One's a memoir called <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0140291938/susanscycling-20" REL="nofollow">A Degree of Mastery: A Journey through Book Arts Apprenticeship</A> by Annie Wilcox. She was the first woman apprentice to master bookbinder William Anthony at the University of Iowa and her book is a lovingly detailed account of the restoration and conservation of a book she worked on.<BR/><BR/>The other is a mildly erotic novel called <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0385314698/susanscycling-20" REL="nofollow">The Sixteen Pleasures</A> by Robert Hellenga. It's about a 29-year-old American who journeys to Florence to join the "mud angels" who worked to save the millions of books damaged in the 1966 floods. How can that be titillating?, you're thinking? Well, it turns out there's this long-lost volume of erotic sonnets ……!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317656389642798883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-33968118936198336152008-09-30T17:22:00.000-04:002008-09-30T17:22:00.000-04:00On that, I have a book recommendation for you:http...On that, I have a book recommendation for you:<BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Bookmakers-Daughter-Memory-Unbound/dp/1557288216/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222809617&sr=8-1<BR/><BR/>Written by the daughter of a bookmaker.
