You can access it at–

Let me know if you find the site to be useful!

Of course I’ve read your essay, and it’s mighty fine.

As for statistics above. I would wager that out of those 180,000 books, the percentage of how many are worth reading are probably very low.

i would like to point out that 180,000 books were published in english in 2009.
so, if you read 120 books, you read like .00015 or something i dont do math
way to go

I now have a published copy of Baby Leg. While I was certainly happy to read the review copy there’s just no comparison to this beautifully produced object. It’s a limited edition that’s signed and numbered. Evenson also dipped his hands in some bloodlike substance and fingerprinted the covers of each book. Talk about personalization! As there are only about a hundred or so copies left, this is sure to sell out. Pick it up HERE.

Have you seen the PDF excerpt? Such a tease, but it does give you a sense of the quality of the writing. You know, I bet if enough people bug Caketrain they’d do another run.
