My favorite little book - Judy Serebrin's daily journal and also her work New Work: Soul Books.
This is so adorable - Barbara Correia of Badico Designs and fun images from Book Arts Jam 2003 and lots of good links. List of Bay Area Book Artist. Art Matters Online.
Another favorite book is Bookworks: Sue Doggett (ISBN 0823004910).
Isn't this lovely?

An old, rare book with the smell of ages. Yum. This and this make my mouth water via the most awesome BibliOdyssey.

Got your comment on my naked SPT, and how thrilled I was to look into your site and see this post!
I am obsessed with handmade books, both making them myself and collecting other people's books, or images of them. The ones here are wonderful! Can I post one and a link to you on my blog next week?
ps, I loved your SPT photo, it's great, and you would share the same lens space as I did then, though I've since lost lots of weight saving up for DIY. The interests listed in your profile resonated with me ;0)
Wow! Those are really awesoem! Sometimes altered books can be a bit "cheesey" but those are truly stunning. Thamks for the great links. ps-found your blog thru flickr-i'll be back
I LOVE books and have tried making a couple, but these are amazing! I'm inspired to try again. Happy Vacation! (and yes, a month makes so much more sense than 2 weeks.)
