I LOVE books.... if the house was burning down and I had to pick between saving my computer and saving my books, the computer would lose... and my family had better be prepared to get themselves out. I got several Amazon gift certificates this last year from various people.... Ramie and Brian, my pal Sherry , and my brother all kept feeding my habit in 2007. This is is a list of my favorites out of the books I have bought or been given in the last 2 years, if you need a gift for someone artsy that is hard to buy from, these are all great resource/inspiration/instruction books to feed to a creative mind. Tomorrow I will post my wish list because one can never have too many books...
