It appears as though book art is not confined to using books to make various forms of art, such as book sculptures – book art can also involve the use of the bookcase and bookshelf as well.

The following link is to an article on ‘Claude the Cookbook Companion.’ This item will hold open your cookbook while you make the recipe. A reasonable gift idea for the cook/chef I guess.

The link below is to a website where you can create your own photo book. Worth a look I think. Sooner or later I’ll be getting around to creating the odd book or two.

I have been working on getting this volume onto the Tracing our History – History website for some time. I did have about three chapters on the site in HTML format, but have now begun getting the volume up in PDF format. This is taking some time, especially with the large number of footnotes in the text, which I am seeking to have available quickly via links to the footnotes and links that return to the text from the footnotes. The time being spent on this will allow a very good and useful ebook when completed I think. I do have plans to make the entire set of volumes on the History of the United States available over time.
I would recommend the volume I am currently reading (volume 1) as a very good treatment on the European discovery and colonization of the United States. For those outside of the United States (like me) – and quite possibly many within the United States – this work provides a very easy to read and informative history of this period. For those interested in further research, the footnotes provide plenty of material for further reading and investigation, drawing on a wealth of historical material and treatments.
