I have a fetishistic relationship with books. I love, I can not stop buying books (sometimes even read!). For me, traveling libraries should be the same as looking glass for some girls clothes. Even thought it has nothing to buy, even with a stack of five or six books to read at home waiting, whenever I have some time and went through a bookstore, I can not go for a walk ...

This attraction books always made me think it would be good to work in a library. But some time ago that attracts me also the subject editorial. Make a book, while not writing it, but helping to create a scratch pad of paper and board, full of letters that you can browse, manipulate, read and stored in the library, has a no-is-what I called. I was actually reviewing the book production programs, the university in Philo , but it is very looong ...

Anyway, the thing is I wanted to take this opportunity to tell what can be found on the Internet to satisfy their interest in the publishing world: first, if only for Argentina, Amazon is amazing. Is almost everything. And most impressive is the feedback system they have. If you register, as you navigate, the site is understanding what you want and I will suggest similar books. And if you buy, long story. It seems a silly thing, but it is very interesting. And he has enough material in Spanish.

But to find books in Argentina, usually use Tematika.com . Tematika is the website of Yenny, El Ateneo and Dromo. They also have CDs, DVDs and electronics, and the catalog is very comprehensive. Librería Santa Fe has a nice website, too, with a major catalog. And for academic books, is Prometheus who brings them.

If they want to know where to find a book, there are two essential sites: gather together (bases 88 libraries. It is oriented to the Social Sciences, with predominance of information on economics and management) and I met recently, BDU ( 57 bases, especially university libraries)

So you know, to tinker, to the bookstore. To find out what to buy, internet helps.

I leave a paragraph in the column of Beatriz Sarlo two weeks ago, which made ​​me feel especially mentioned, especially with the geological cross sections, as my book on juggling, which should be out there in the library, or my novel type pulp, those that exchanged in Zelarrayán Blanquita and April 11 in Bahia Blanca

"After years of buying books, a reader probably has already been resigned to the library is made up of both errors as hits. The books that have been gathering also are a testament to fleeting enthusiasms, now occurrences and can be recognized as berretines insubstantial, from fashion, to believe that the list of best-sellers is a qualitative order to award to a written opinion more authority than it deserves, to follow a tip that just because convicts who offers is excited. How did I buy this book and why should I keep it if it shows is a misunderstanding? What I have to do with it that I liked in the past and today makes me very uncomfortable because I liked? When it is accumulated for years, a library is a kind of geological section where you see the layers of fads faded, as well as sediments that have been said. So when someone looks at another library, somehow, is on the verge of indiscretion. "
