Let's have some fun...One of my all time favorite publishers (
Chronicle Books) is having a contest for bloggers and blog readers to win an awesome assortment of books from their store.
I get to choose $500 worth of super cool books. You make a comment about these books. Chronicle Books picks a lucky blog and a commenter to that blog. We both win our own set of the books below. Pretty cool, huh?
So without further ado, here is my dream list of Chronicle Books. ( I will admit I could have chose 100)
