This is just the Tumblr side-blog for To Be Shelved, my blog about books and their covers.
Over at the blog, you'll find more in-depth entries and more photos. Also, if you know of anything book-related that needs a lil' more attention from the internet, let me know, and I'll probably do a post on it (shameless self-promotion included).
And please, judge a book by its cover.
ps. follow my books and bookshelves boards on Pinterest!
