AC sent these books for a custom painting for her mother. I never heard if/how either of them like it, but, I hope so, of course.

LB sent me her family's favorites for two paintings to hang together in their vacation house. I love the old edition of The House at Pooh Corner.

KM commissioned this painting of her husband JMM's favorite books as an anniversary present. The jumbled numbers on the spine of The Man Who Only Loved Numbers (far left) are brilliant, especially when you realize how "undesigned" most spines are compared to the covers. Also, Tracy Kidder's Soul of a New Machine is also one of my favorite books of all time.
