A posting from Poetry Café

Today is UNESCO World Book Day. For us, this is the reason to focus not only with the book itself but to take a look at the accessories of our books. Yes, books do need accessories.

For a really good book you need to have also a really good bookmark. Dog ears are simply not beautiful and receipts or tissue papers are not the best alternatives.
