Since we were based in San Francisco and the tech and arts community was pretty small, I met the Pinterest founders early on. I knew that Pinterest was going to be a perfect platform for Chronicle since all of our books were so visual. The book-loving community online is strong and most of us are fetishists—there's a reason why it's called "book porn"... ;) I was deeply immersed in that world, and spent five years seeking out the best bookish artwork on the Internet to share on Chronicle's social networks. I sought out images and words that resonated most with people who loved books, and that's where the idea for a book came from. My initial book proposal to my editor was actually a Pinterest board. It's a great visualization tool for creative projects!(less)

“Books are the best remedy for boredom, but it's a remedy you have to discover for yourself.”
Guinevere de la Mare, I'd Rather Be Reading: A Library of Art for Book Lovers
tags: books

“In our leisure moments, whenever we have downtime, we should turn to literature—to works that took some time to write and will take some time to read, but will also stay with us longer than anything else.”
Guinevere de la Mare, I'd Rather Be Reading: A Library of Art for Book Lovers

“Why hasn’t a hip alliance emerged that’s concerned about what happens to our intellectual health, our country, and, yes, our happiness when we consume empty-calorie entertainment?”
