Reading was an educated woman’s sport until the mid-nineteenth century. The number of analphabets was still soaring high. Smaller households were busy with taking care of themselves - there was simply was no time to sit down for an hour or two. And then there was the lack of electric light. Candles were expansive and could not be wasted.
#YES YES YES YES THIS IS HOW GOOD BOOKS SHOULD LOOK #i understand it when people hate cracked spines #but anybody that says a battered and falling apart book is sad #and thinks that’s not how you love a book #is talking shit #i love books and they look good like this #they are meant to be read and passed around and get crushed in bags because you can’t leave the house without them #you’re meant to dog ear the pages you love and underline in pencil and stick in stickynotes #if you want pristine you should buy an e-reader #because this is how you experience a book

Lonely Planet classified this bookshop as the third best bookshop in the world, Livraria Lello & Irmão in Porto, Portugal (by Ricardo Bevilaqua).
I redesigned the cover of Zombicorns as well as adding a back cover and interior spread.I have always loved books in bound form a little bit more than digital or what have you and I wanted to put a copy of Zombicorns on my shelf along with my other John Green books.
Stay tuned for when I actually get around to binding the book.
Gosh, the interior pattern is BEAUTIFUL.
The guns! The corn! The skyline! Now I feel like I should turn it in to an actual novel.
