And the Award for Best Bookstore Cat Name Goes to...June 19, 2009 | Link This | Email this | Comments (20) Here's a random fact I stumbled upon recently: Recycle Bookstore West in Campbell, Calif., has a store cat named Isbn. Yes, Isbn, as in ISBN. How clever is that?? Without a doubt, this is the best name for a bookstore cat that I've come across as yet in my many years of bookstore travels.

On the Street Where You ReadJune 11, 2009 | Link This | Email this | Comments (4) Picture a world comprised of book covers, book spines, and people cut from actual book pages. That's the world created by Apt Studio and Asylum Films in the stop-motion video "This Is Where We Live" that they produced for the 25th anniversary of 4th Estate (an imprint of HarperCollins in the U.K.) some seven months ago, though I only just stumbled upon it today, completely by accident! I love the whimsical quality of this short film and am especially taken with the thought of paper birds emerging from paper trees. Beautiful!
