I created this blog last semester while taking a web design course. My ultimate goal is to sell used books on Amazon. I want to (1) get rid of books I no longer wish to keep and (2) earn money to restore our old house. In particular, I want to buy wallpaper for our large front hall. I created a web page for Midwest Treeland Books for an HTML course I took. The site is not yet live, but I think it turned out quite well! Once I have photographed some books and organized a list of available books, I'll post this information on the web site. I'll use the blog to discuss additions to the list of books available for purchase.
The name "Midwest Treeland Books" came from my daughter Claire. When we asked her about an idea for the name of our online used book store, she became annoyed with what she perceived as an obsession over a business name. Her suggestion was that we just call it "Midwest Books" or "Tree Land Books" or something. So we decided to be even more annoying by naming our business "Midwest Treeland Books". The leaf images used in the blog background are elm leaves. These continue the
Elmore and
Tree theme. So there it is. Stop by in the future for information about our used books. We will be selling on Amazon!
