I didn't know dear Benhästen had covered this. I am a recent follower.

I might have to snag some of these Sideshow beauties.; October 1, 2008 at 11:07 PM

I LOVE this book.

I spent so long with it in a book store a few weeks ago that the (very kind) staff said "if he was up for adoption, we would let you have him for free".; October 2, 2008 at 12:51 AM
John M. said...: I love the images and the book has great presentation.

I'm looking for a copy to adopt.; October 2, 2008 at 1:53 AM
