"I have come to think that the true likeness of Flannery O'Connor will be painted by herself, a self-portrait in words, to be found in her letters . . . There she stands, a phoenix risen from her own words: calm, slow, funny, courteous, both modest and very sure of herself, intense, sharply penetrating, devout but never pietistic, downright, occasionally fierce, and honest in a way that restores honor to the word."―Sally Fitzgerald, from the Introduction

Spiral-bound sheet music!

This was an awesome gift for my wife. She is learning guitar and loves the Beatles. The spiral binding makes it much easier to read and concentrate on the music. Will definitely shop here again!

An excellent book

This is an excellent book in its own right. It is well written and covers its subject matter very well. It is made all the better being in the lay it flat format. It can be positioned at a certain page to reference and never flips pages or tries to close. And it can be read in single page format by holding it in that manner. An excellent book made better. That's what Lay It Flat does.
