March, 2008 : Vol IX | Previous Issue

Hello fellow book lovers!

This month, Biblio.com celebrated its fifth anniversary by unveiling a new look to the website. We concurrently experienced the arrival of spring here in the mountains of North Carolina. With so much change in the air, this issue of Unbound is dedicated to gardening and the great outdoors.

Of course, it was only natural that BiblioUnbound received a makeover as well. You'll notice a new look, as well as a new comments section in your favorite articles, making it easier for you to leave feedback.

Thanks to all of you for supporting Biblio.com, and enjoy this month's Unbound!
