The Word Made Flesh: Follow Up

Last week we got a stellar assortment of librarian tattoos, from old and new friends alike.  Why all the interest in your tats? We're a curious bunch, but more importantly, we're celebrating the release of The Word Made Flesh: Literary Tattoos from Bookworms Worldwide.   Enough talk: on to the tattoos.  Here's the second batch!

First up: S. Brady Shuman, of Buswell Library in Saint Louis.

Fair Trade: A book for a tattoo!

9780062042538 Librarians are no strangers to tattoos, so with that in mind, here’s a book you might want to know about.  The Word Made Flesh: Literary Tattoos from Bookworms Worldwide is a full-color, beautifully packaged collection of literary tattoos and short personal essays in the vein of confessional books such as PostSecret and Not Quite What I Was Planning.

Got a tattoo you’d like to show us?  Send a picture of your permanent ink (which we’ll post here) and we’ll send copy of THE WORD MADE FLESH to you!  Deal?
