Oh, oh, and not really "journalism" I guess, but I worship at the alter of Bill Bryson. All his travels, anecdotes, tirades, and hyperbolic analogies therein.

Just finished "Nickel and Dimed" and liked it a lot. Any reco's for other immersion journalism books?

It's not really my genre, so my only reading experience comes from the social work side when I was working at Mercy Home. I read There Are No Children Here by Alex Kotlowitz (which is super powerful) and couple things by Jonathan Kozol.

I really want to read Half the Sky.

I'm sure some other folks here can recommend some immersion journalism?

THIRTY IS COMING.

1: Enjoyed the dance party Friday night. 2: I have a project I'd like to undertake w/no clue where to start. I own every Esquire magazine from '03 - now (#hoarder). I'd like to bind them into volumes for coffee-table purposes. Where do libraries get their periodicals bound? 3: Can I can send them to said place and get it done?

1. Likewise.

2. We are all special in our own way. And, as far as I know, libraries either send out to commercial binderies (there's my library word Sunday. I'm now exhausted) or some libraries bind periodicals in house. 

3. I think you could easily send out to a bindery, you'd just have to shop around to determine the level of fancy you're looking for--it sounds like this would make for a GREAT fancy project. 

Maybe some of you fine librarian hoarding types have recommendations?
