Brick and mortar seems to be merging and meshing into something a little more cloud like. As an author for a small publisher I am just fine with Amazon and the other on-line outlets. Honestly, the only book store I know that carries my book is Once Upon a Crime in Minnesota. (I highly recommend you go there for the smells and the squeaks and creaks, the delicious ambiance you can only find in an old building that is full of books! Someone needs to make an air freshener and call it old library!) Which brings me to my point. There is just something soul satisfying about an old book store or library. If you feel the same way, keep reading. You could become the new owner of a piece of fabulous history.
If you are a book lover. Antique, vintage furniture lover. Word nerd. You are going to want to start clicking.
Do you recognize this book cart? It is an antique book cart from the New York Public Library.
Out of Print, the literary apparel and lifestyle brand based in New York, had fun refinishing it--cleaning it up without stripping it from its character. Founders Todd Lawton and Jeff LeBlanc did some research on the cart and contacted the manufacturer--still in business
Out of Print is hosting a giveaway: an antique book cart, nine galleys from Penguin Random House and a $100 gift card to shop at www.outofprintclothing.com.
Go here and win a piece of the library for your home!
