Last night I stumbled across this gem of a site. It’s a photo database of early soviet-era children’s books hosted by a Canadian University. Great stuff! The typography is my favorite part of it all. But the character styles are fun too.
I have to agree…
this guy is right on about the state of books today. I’ve been looking for a clean white 100% recycled paper for a while and nada. If you know of any PLEASE let us know! I can’t figure out why it’s so hard to do.

Booking the ‘ham
If you’re in the ‘ham this weekend you’ll want to swing by the Vestavia Hills library. Their BIG annual book sale kicks off this afternoon at 5pm and runs through Tuesday. The library opens at 9am on Saturday and 1pm on Sunday.
I’m thinking about taking elbow pads and a helmet, in case it’s anything like last year’s sale. Some people are CRAZY about $1 books and I always seem to be in their way!
