This selection of entries - in no particular order - covers the gamut: they've either been popular, have particularly stunning visuals, come from a good idea, give me a sense of curatorial pride, were randomly pleasurable, or else are representative of themes that have been pursued on BibliOdyssey over the years. It's an obviously subjective list but I'd wanted to do this for a long time and could never work out what criteria to use; so I used them all.

This is entry number 1000 and in keeping with the centenary post tradition, I reiterate previous invitations for people to drop me a line with any link, genre, artist name or idea that they believe merits exploration on this site. Leave a comment or email me at peacay - gmail - dotcom. Thanks.
