The hand and the book; the book is an extension of the eye as McLuhan said. But also of the hand.

Large Hands Bookends The Hands Bookends will "hold" onto your books in an attractive style. They are made from metal and available in large and small sizes. $10.99.

SPANISH/ENGLISH

I use this English/Spanish electronic dictionary all the time; I've tried quite a few. Believe me. This is the BEST in every way. It has a smart function whereby it finds your word before you type in all the letters; it has the best useful vocabulary; it has memory features; it operates on AAA batteries. The only thing it lacks is a speaker voice, but those are so dreadful, you are better off without the sound of a robot uttering either English or Spanish.

SUPER BOOK BAG

On a jaunt to a friend’s or to the nearest café, just the thing when you're writing that great novel or excruciating dissertation. The Dash carries just enough for those quick trips. Padded computer nest, ample compartment and mesh catchall...see you later. And just $19.99.
