“The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore”

I found this through Emma over at A World of Randomness and it is truly a beautiful short film. The fantastical whimsy of the short are just enough to tease various emotions (both happy and sad) out of you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Apparently it is nominated for a 2012 Academy Award and I really hope it wins.

The Joy of Books and The Edinburgh Book Sculptures

This (not sure if the embed is working for anyone else, but it isn’t working on my computer at the moment) was recently shared on Bookshelf Porn and it made me smile this morning. I’m usually loathe to share things I haven’t read, unless it’s within my Monthly Updates, but as I can barely keep myself on track to do those, I thought I should share this immediately.

On a similar note, if you haven’t seen the awesome book sculptures from Scotland, you should check them out In case you haven’t seen them check them out at This Central Station. The dragon is my favorite, of course:
