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.
Because there is a time lag between my ability to review books and the receipt or creation of books, the Library List below will be divided between"Blogged Titles" and "Forthcoming Posts" (scroll down). The latter will allow any of you who have sent in books to see if I've received them. Enjoy!
