We were honored to welcome these amazing book artists and book arts advocates at our warehouse. #BookSky
Last week @eddiecampbell.bsky.social and I went to Powell’s Books’ fantastic warehouse to pick up some copies of our Bizarre Romance. @kgerleve.bsky.social helped us (we were given 36 cases of books!) and we had a great visit. Thank you, Brad Jonas and @powellsbookschi.bsky.social !
