Look what turned up this week. @gonzohistory's "Booklet of Bounties". A zine about ... well bounties and fugitives. Some random tables and thoughts about why bounties might even exist in the first place, how to get them, and so on.

One interesting thing you may not know about publishing is that at this point there are only 4 people alive who still purchase a book, open it, and read the words inside. All the stores and campaigns are to reach them. Famous authors like Stephen King sometimes reach as many as 2 with a single book.

Book 1 is "The Black Bird Oracle" by Deborah Harkness, the fifth All Souls novel.

Today is the 175th day of my current writing streak. I also at some point in the last couple of weeks passed without noticing 150,000 words written this year.

The latest in the #journal29 series, and a gift calendar of greatest themed book related items.
