I've gotten a few comments that there is trouble accessing Episode 109... I've tried to see what may be wrong, but I can't reproduce it. The show works for me in iTunes and via the link here on the show notes page. The show is longer than the ones in recent weeks... about 55 minutes. So... it could be a memory issue. If you, too, are having trouble, please leave a comment here. If I get the sense there's a bigger problem, I'll try re-releasing it with a new name and file info and see if we can clear it up. Thanks!

Hi Everyone - Due to some trouble with the mail when Tara Publishing tried to send me a copy of The Book Book: A Journey into Bookmaking last fall, I've got an extra copy of The Book Book to give away. (By the way, my contact at Tara Publishing was so nice - really, really, really nice.) So, the first copy that was mailed to me (from India) got waylaid somewhere along the way with holiday deliveries... and it just arrived recently.

I'm going to send it to one of you. To hear more about the book and my experience reading the book, check out Episode 84 of the podcast: One Stapled Book at a Time.
