this is a variation of a “blind date with a book” project that i came up with many years ago for BN, using a book’s blurbs, synopsis, first line, etc. to encourage readers enticed by the oh-so-pretty presentation into taking a chance on a book they might not have discovered on their own. it was fun, although kind of labor-intensive, and my handwriting is serial-killer-terrible, but they sold, so there’s my legacy, i suppose.

THESE ARE SO ENTICING!
and your handwriting isn’t that serial-killery. (I suppose it would take too long to cut each letter out of a magazine, though.) (Also, there are no magazines anymore! AHAHAHAHAHAHA/sob.)
