This isn’t about literature, per se, or any literary work in particular, though it begins at Barnes & Noble, last Sunday morning.

I was at the bookstore, within walking distance from my apartment, when a book in the discount section caught my eye - Sunlight Print Photography Kit, by Kate Marlowe. It seemed like a fun book to buy for my kids, to give them an opportunity to try something different in a medium they’ve taken up the last couple of years.
