Apt’s links for July 28th

• Thingology (LibraryThing’s ideas blog): My Library of Congress talk - Tim talks!
• SharedBook - On-Demand Reverse Publishing for Businesses and Consumers - Sharedbook now has an API.
• mediabistro.com: GalleyCat - Compile your own book. This looks interesting, although at first glance somewhat crippled. Reminds me of TailorMade books from the late 90s. But definitely worth keeping an eye on.
• Summer 2007 Relaunch of Vintage Classics (suite) « Première de couverture - Uhoh. Some almost entirely handsome, desirable jackets for the forthcoming Vintage classics. Watch out Penguin Essentials
• Caught by the buzz | Features | Guardian Unlimited Film - JJ Abrahms loves back story.
