The stats are in and the fight is on. Overall book sales have dropped in 2008 and 2009, according to the American Association of Publishers (AAP). While adult hardcover books actually increased by over 6% in 2009, eBook sales, which account for 4% of all book sales, have increased a whopping 176%.

Karen's Whimsy
Where Whimsy Yields Treasure
Do you know what altered books are? On a quest to find some Public Domain images, I came across a delightful site by Karen Hatzigeorgiou that kept me absorbed for several hours. No, the site's not that big but it is creative. I was fascinated first by what Karen was doing and secondly by her writing style. It was such an enjoyable experience that I couldn't keep it to myself. Oh yes, she has some cute public domain images available too.
