It looks like everything’s back on the website. Yay!

Thinks are looking a little wonky
No, I’m not talking politics. It’s this website and our publishing site, BookbinderPress.com. I’m changing web hosts—not my forte. Imagine me with the car hood propped up with an old ice scraper while, surrounded by tossed and scattered tools strewn about my asphalt driveway (and one inexplicably embedded in the stucco siding), I wipe the 10W-40 from my brow, blow the curls from my forehead, and begin hour twelve of rebuilding my car engine.
That’s me with my website. Wheels are spinning off at the moment, but everything’s going to be FINE.
Eventually.

Happy National Sandwich Day!
I know. You’ve waited all year, and it’s finally here—November 3, National Sandwich Day! So here’s a shout out to a man who had the meats way before Arby’s did.
In 1762, John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich, ordered beef between two slices of bread so he could eat and gamble at the same time. In a time when cutlery was all the rage, the Earl’s practice of eating with his fingers raised more than a few eyebrows. Evidently, no one had a problem with his gambling so obsessively that he couldn’t take a break for a meal now and then. No, it was his hands-on approach to eating that so shocked a nation—until they tried it.
What does this have to do with books, you might ask? Well, later that year, English author, Edward Gibbons, observed two men eating cold meat between bread slices in a small cafe called the Cocoa Tree. He was so impressed by the sight that he wrote about it, thus providing the first written record of the term sandwich.
So next time you chow down on a sandwich, thank an author.
