I had planned on putting the same pair of TOMS on my list too, but I guess in a push towards originality, I omitted it. They’re much more practical than my glitter TOMS, which a very beat up and have holes. A lot of glitter has fallen off too.
Did you hear about the redesign of Nabokov covers?
I just checked-the record player is out of stock!!! Maybe someone purchased it for you!
Additionally, I am surprised that book-themed items only compose 3/10 of your list. And no penguin classics!
I did NOT hear about the redesign of the Nabokov covers???
Oh, believe me, I knocked the booklist down significantly… possibly because I have purchased approx 50 books in the past three months…. I tried to pick only ONE novel, with the requirements that it had a design-edge and was new in 2009. I didn’t even notice that I sort of broke my rule by picking two other book-things, the poster & the picture set.

Hell yeah! I wonder why they didn’t do Lolita… or actually, I’m glad they didn’t, because then maybe people will buy his other works. Now I wish I didn’t have this ugly-as-hell copy of Pale Fire… I want the new one!
