Dumpling in a Hanky

Yay, the artist behind the mysterious book sculptures that appeared in Edinburgh last year is back, and everyone has a chance to find (and keep) one of her gorgeous sculptures! As this story in the Edinburgh Evening News relates, next week is Book Week Scotland, and each day next week, the Scottish Book Trust website will be revealing a clue to the location of a sculpture, hidden somewhere in Scotland. Once it's found, the original sculpture will stay where it is, but the finder will get their own sculpture. Wait: does that mean they've actually made 10 new book sculptures? Anyway, sounds like splendid fun to me: I'll be keeping a beady eye on the Scottish Book Trust site for clues. I wonder if they'll have a hashtag to go with it, so everyone can join in with the hunt, wherever they are? #bookhunt? #bookchase?

This looks like a fun, pretty, and literary project: taking famous quotes from the Scottish Enlightenment, and projecting them onto the Edinburgh buildings associated with that period, with animations and audio too. It'll run from the 1st - 18th March 2012. The Edinburgh City of Literature site says there's further news to come, but as it starts in only a few days, I'd quite like to actually know just now what quotes they'll be using, and when, and where...it'd be quite nice to go for a walk around town to see them, but without details, it's a bit tricky to plan! Ah, actually: the non-official source is, in this case, more reliable than the official source! It goes against all Librarian Rules, but here: - trust the unofficial source, for full information on locations, dates, and times: Edinburgh Reporter event details  - although they say it launches on Friday 1st March...Friday's the 2nd. Does anyone actually know what's going on with this event...
