1 Bookshelf A project of Sword & Saga Press (see other related projects). This project is believed to be defunct. (June 2014) About For those of us who read and write, books have a way of shaping our lives. Looking over my bookshelves, I witness the events of my life through the books I've read. Examining one bookshelf, I see six months or a year or a lifetime of experiences. It's not only what's in the book that shapes the experience. I've found part of the book experience is where I've read it, and what I was doing at the time, and who with. When I pick up a book, I see friends, family, and situations. 1 Bookshelf is a way to share our book experiences one shelf at a time. When you look at one shelf, what story does it tell?
