LIBRARY-IN-PROGRESS #I (Jan. 12, 2013-March 31, 2013)

This post summarizes the titles from SitWithMoi's Library of "Books on Chairs" as the Library grew from its inception on Jan. 12, 2013 until March 31, 2013.  The listing, as of April 1, 2013, continues HERE.

Some of the books are received from this blog's e-readers (THANK YOU!), made by Moi under my mini-name "E.R. Tabios", or made by Moi under other people's names (in which case I am named as "editor").  Links to the titles will feature either my engagements with received books or the process I undertook to make books.  Illustrations will feature the books on the mini-chairs upon which they're currently placed. This post will always be updated to reflect new books; you can follow the Library's progress through the link on upper-right of the blog.

Everyone is invited to participate by sending in a mini-book.  While a size of no more than 2" x 2" is ideal, we occasionally accept slightly-larger books when their authors just can't downsize enuf.
