Melissa Jay Craig, who makes beautiful, ethereal sculptural books, has posted her most recent work. It’s all toadstools!

Book Patrol shares a picture of one of the most fun bookshops I’ve ever seen.

For those of you who are writers, these Keyboard Characters might liven up your desktop and provide you with a little uncritical company.
