Obviously I’m very busy mixing fireworks and alcohol this weekend, but I’ve somehow managed to squeeze in a links post.

— You’ve likely seen this already, but a bookseller in Georgia (represent!) discovered an amazing porn stash in hollowed out books. Booksaga is definitely a new favorite, featuring great writing and really funny stories of life as a small town bookseller. Thanks to William for the link.

— Bibliophile Bullpen went to the thrift store and found the coolest thing ever. I want one.

I went to the thrift store a couple of weeks ago. Found an awesome old Polaroid camera set for a couple of bucks. Bummer. Bought it anyway.

— It sounds like Jeremy had a great trip to Charlottesville!

— More amusing housecalls from Bookride.

— Hoefler & Frere-Jones present a 223-year old specimen sheet featuring the “smallest letter in the world” at 4 points.

— Instructables has a nice article on getting started with wood block printing. Via Moleskinerie

— Be sure to check out the excellent multi-part Slate piece on the troublesome science of gender differences. There’s an entire page on the supposed gap in verbal abilities between men and women. Good stuff.

— Bill Gates gets his old textbook back. Aww. Via Book Patrol.
