You did get a lot of great books! The ABC of Canapes looks especially good!
ReplyDeleteI love the mailbox you posted. I want to read about Frank Lloyd Wright. When I get a chance I will start with Loving Frank.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection of books. :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my Mailbox! ~ Wendi
I enjoy your eclectic taste. I don't always want to read what you post, but I'm always interested to see what you read!
ReplyDeleteAlso, where do you get the book cover pictures to post? I wasn't sure about posting thos pics on my blog...?

The ABC of Canapes looks great! :-)
ReplyDeleteBermuda and Marie -- The ABC book is darling, but not as cool as it looks in the picture because it is really little and has very few pages. But I love vintage cookbooks, so I nabbed it.
ReplyDeleteNicole -- I read Loving Frank but hardly remember it being about FLW. It was, I know, but it was really focused on her lover and then the bizarre crime that ends it.
Wendy -- Thanks! I'll go see your mailbox next.
Michele -- There are no copyright issues or anything about posting book cover pictures. Certainly not when writing about the book. You can use the pictures from amazon, but sometimes they have big "Look Inside" arrows on the top. I make the pictures by using the amazon code for the book with the LibraryThing code for the picture as the "image source". There may be easier ways, but that is the only way I know. If that doesn't make sense to you, I am happy to explain it or give you a sample of the HTML code to use. I am a computer idiot, but someone showed me the code when I started this blog and I have used it ever since. Just leave me your email address in a comment and I will email you.
Thank you! That helps a lot. I figured no one would mind if it promotes the book, but you never know!
