| October, 2011 (Our 18th Issue) | |||||||||
| ByTina Hemmerle | |||||||||
| I'm so glad
that books and book stores still exist.
There are so many things in the world—wait, universe—that
I wouldn't never know about if it weren't for the neatly stacked piles
and rows of books inside the coffee shop/book emporiums that are still
with us today. I'm even going to go so far as to say my life would be QUITE different if it weren't for my local Barnes & Noble. As a younger girl, it was a Borders. For the setting of this story it doesn't matter which you imagine. The ritual has always been the same. Ultimately, to me, the book emporium was never just a place to purchase books and drink coffee. It has long been a place where I go and let (enter "GOD" concept here) communicate with me. Sometimes there's no "dialogue" at all, and sometimes I leave feeling like a different person. Sometimes I go in looking for a simple answer, and sometimes I leave with a whole new question. There have been times when I randomly discovered things that were so unexpectedly profound and crucial at that very moment of my existence that it brought me to tears. Then there was that time I left feeling like ("GOD") was mad at me, until I turned around to discover a big beautiful rainbow coming from behind the building. So, I really hope B&N can keep it together. Book browsing on the internet JUST ISN'T THE SAME, and who knows why, but the public library never had the same effect on me. I've shared this little tidbit with you becuase just the other day, while producing this here issue of WINK, I stumbled upon this book, and all in one tiny instant, the world around me disappeared. I was immediately whisked away to an alter-universe of crafting genius created by the DIY queens at BUST Magazine. (Not familiar with BUST? See here, then!) This time, I believe "GOD" was saying, "Tina, you NEED this book! This book will make you happy forever! Nothing can make you happy like owning this book—excepting for perhaps publishing a book like this book…" So here is a special issue bonus in lieu of this taunting non-fiction masterpiece: |

| "Its about time BUST Magazine did a craft book—they've been pioneers on the do-it-yourself scene since 1997. This book features everything from Hand Jobs (how to hand sew), to Liking It Rough (how to camp), to Spring Cleaning for Dirty Girls. This is my kind of book." —AMY SEDARIS | |||||||||
