A bibliophile's delight, Spine Poems: An Eclectic Collection of Found Verse for Book Lovers is a stunningly produced volume of "found verse." Former bookseller Annette Dauphin Simon's bookstore pastime of stacking the inventory to create messages made of titles segued into her photographing her creations--and eventually compiling a book of more than 100 "spine poems." Fourteen whimsical chapters cover cooking (Taking Turns/ Cleaning Up/ This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage); parenting (Hey, Kiddo/ Telephone/ Love, Mama); and true crime (Full Disclosure/ I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf). Opposite each full-color photo are literary quotes, anecdotes and research relevant to the poem, so every two-page spread offers a visual treat, a verse and fun facts. The gold-embossed cover hints at the biblio-rich entertainment inside this delightful collection. --Cheryl McKeon, Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza, Albany, N.Y.
