Book Stacks

Posted on 24 May 2007 @ 00:20 in Books

You know, I’m so tired of turning my head and hurting my neck everytime I need to look for a book from my collection. So I’ve gone and stacked them lying down. Like this:

And if you’re wondering about that little box of books in the middle row, well, that’s the full Black and White Series Box Set published by Rhino Press in 1997. I never even bought one copy from the series when it first came out, and 10 years later, I had to search for them online and ended up buying them all the way from the States. But it’s worth it. I hope there’ll be more of such local publishing efforts, especially with an increase in local events such as the monthly readings at Seksan’s.

Authors featured in the series - Kamal & Nadiah Bamadhaj, Bernice Chauly, Mahani Gunnell, Rahel Joseph, Fay Khoo, Jit Murad, Mira Mustaffa, Dain Said, Aziz Salim, and Dina Zaman.

Any chance of seeing it on new Malaysian books again soon?
