All about books.

Craig Jensen of Craig's Booknotes fame, has a new site BookLab II, all about the crafts of printing and bookbinding and associated arts. "Visions and innovations for the traditional book." Some beautiful illustrations of early books and manuscripts there. Tons of book links.

New Pages is another great book related site I like a lot, especially the weblog of book related news.

But both of these guys complain a lot about the state of the book publishing industry, about the perils facing small book stores and printers and poets. But I think the book industry is doing just great, and point to sites like these as examples of all the great stuff that's happening. I hope they don't mind. :)
