Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Infinity bookcase -- neat looking idea... but practically, how do you get at the books in the middle?!
To me it looks like there are no backs to the bookcase, so the middle is actually looking at the back of the books placed from the outside. I think. Now I'm confused.
It looks that way to me, too. Everything is only one book deep.
I loved Encyclopedia Brown. I wanted to be him. And have what's-her-name for a girlfriend....
In his spare time, Encyclopedia ran a detective agency out of his garage with Sally Kimball, his junior partner. Sally was the prettiest girl in the fifth grade and the toughest, too. She was the only person who could stand up to Bugs Meany, Encyclopedia’s arch enemy and the leader of the local gang, the Tigers. Sally’s parents wondered if she might be a lesbian.
I'm also a big Sinbad and Me fan. One of the select books I reread constantly in my childhood.
Great minds, Dude. Great minds.
The answer I want is WHY is that book out of print? It's a travesty.
ION, I'm just back from Matilda's two year old check up.
She's 24 lbs and 33 inches, so about 15 percentile for height and weight. She is "beautifully proportioned" and speaking way over her age level. In fact, she's the most articulate two year old in his practice. (She can say five or six word sentences and have a conversation with you.)
Everything went swimmingly until the flu shot. But she was appeased with a bagel with cream cheese, JZ snuck off without causing a separation anxiety stir, and Matilda's now at daycare where she can sleep off her shot (I hope).

Sinbad's usually not too hard to find, but the sequels are rare and expensive.

Nnnooooooo! Why must all my childhood crushes turn out to be lesbians?
Signed, still not over Zelda Gilroy....
Sinbad's usualy not too hard to find, but the sequels are rare and expensive.
WHERE? I don't care about the sequels. Never actually read anything but the original.
That's some good people-making, Hec and JZ.
And I'm still searching for a copy of Sinbad & Me.
Ah! The book that turned me on to architecture! I adore that book! I think I have a paperback of it in the garage.

Oh, I clicked on that link excited, thinking I might see that one of the children books here, named very similarly, is this.
But no.
We have Danny Din, the invisible kid.
