GIFT GUIDE:LITERARY
December 9th, 2012
Why not? We’ll throw in with the rest of the gift guides.
For the literary set on your list, what about commissioning a bookshelf portrait? Send in a photograph of your ten favorite book spines (together or separately), and your painting will arrive in 6 to 8 weeks. This makes it late for Christmas, but the website indicates that special arrangements may be possible.
(Here’s what it looks like framed. This is James Franco’s “ideal bookshelf,” offered as a print through Jen Bekman’s 20 x 200 series.
What about an Iris Murdoch or Emily Dickinson doll? UneekDollDesigns sells beautiful, handmade literary dolls.
Agatha Christie
Franz Kafka
Another beautiful gift: Strunk and White’s “Elements of Style,” illustrated by Maira Kalman
LOVE IT!!! Picture books only? I am a huge fan of food in books. Let me know if I can dredge up any otehrs for you. Charise Harper’s CUPCAKE pops to mind… Ooh – Do you know the Ella the Elephant books by the D’Amicos? Ella Takes the Cake has a nice cake in it. Kalman’s are definitley the most luscious, though. Can’t wait for your festival!!!
