Unabridged Blog
One of my favorite bookstores, Unabridged in Lakeview, has joined us on the internets with a brand-spankin' new blog. It's seriously new, having launched six days ago (if you get up close to your computer, it still has that new-blog smell). There's not much on it yet, but they do bring to your attention that photography books, cookbooks and various other coffee table books are 40% off right now, which is nice because after Christmas, it's all about getting presents for yourself.
