Happen to know a gearhead, who also loves books? Perhaps you’re the very person. WELL, do I have something for you …
{Bookends--tumbled by sksullivan667, Etsy}
Custom bookends made from small transmission gears. What could be more perfect?
Of course, they’d be pretty great for the rest of us too. They’re funky, modern … dare I say, classy?!
Ever wish you could take your favorite work of literature, frame it, and hang it upon the wall? Well, now you can.
Thanks to PosterText you can own satin-finish prints–each made up of the entire text of a book, artfully arranged to create an illustration. They’re modern; they’re elegant; they’re entirely too fabulous.
They’re also just starting out, which means the selection is small. But they have my favorite {The Count of Monte Cristo, naturally} …
And they plan to add at least one new print each week. They also accept requests.
So get on it: order new a new print … or two … or three. Then, when all your friends begin to do the same you can say, “Postertext is your new find? Why, I’ve been a collector for quite some time…“

Still, I'll look to add a few to my own personal library, in memorandum.
If only I had a few thousand lying about, I might start with this one, from text your ex back
