When I love a picture book, I share my comments on my blog, Lesa's Book Critiques. The artwork, and story behind it, in Brian Lies' Cat Nap, is wonderful. #BookSky #Art #PictureBook. tinyurl.com/3h3uytcf

Condé Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]
Gourmet Magazine
Gourmet is a worker-owned publication about food and the people who make and consume it.
