This homage to a common reader's dilemma is a gift the booklover in your life won't soon forget.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReaders know all too well the comedy and tragedy of forgetting the name of a must-find book. Inspired by this torturous predicament, artist Marina Luz creates paintings of books based on the descriptions we use when we can't remember their titles--mining Internet book-search forums for the quirky, vague, and often hilarious language we come up with in these moments. This volume collects dozens of these imaginary books into a library all their own: Titles like \"Cat, Possibly Named Henry,\" \"It Was All a Dream,\" or \"Something-Something, Beverly Hills\" inspire dreaming up their contents, often as entertaining as trying to guess the real book behind them. A celebration of book love unlike any other, this petite book is a clever gift for bibliophiles that will spark knowing smiles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePERFECT GIFT FOR BOOKLOVERS: The collection will spark recognition for everyone who has encountered this phenomenon (so, virtually every reader) and especially those who have worked in a bookstore, who know intimately well how often this dilemma arises. This impulse-priced delight is an excellent way to make book-loving friends feel seen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA UNIQUE APPRECIATION OF BOOK LOVE: This is a loving tribute to the wonderful and bizarre ways that books leave impressions on our souls, if not always perfectly in our memories. It's a fun and fresh appreciation of bibliophilia that still delivers long after the first read. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePerfect for: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Bibliophiles\u003cbr\u003e- Booksellers\u003cbr\u003e- People seeking gifts for the booklovers in their life\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarina Luz is an award-winning illustrator whose work has appeared in the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times, Vice\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eProPublica\u003c\/i\u003e, among other publications.
