Lord! When you sell a man a book you don't sell just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue- you sell him a whole new life. -Christopher Morley
- Christina Helen
- Christina is a reluctant digital native whose physical home is in Melbourne, Australia. She is obsessed with words and worked in books for nine years. Now she is in the process of completing her Master of Arts in Philosophy at Monash University. However you demarcate 'geek' and 'nerd', she definitely qualifies for both titles.
