Book Sale!
31/10/03 15:18I love Halloween. Also, I love the Annual Canaday Book Sale. 50¢ per book. I got something like twelve books for a total of six dollars. That's cheap!
Big Type, a typography example book "with designers' comments and analysis". These things cost like $50 in the store.
Traditional Japense Stencil Designs. Copyright-free drawings.
The Heroic Bylinas (Героические Былины), which is a book of folktales of some sort about the early Russians.
The Illustrated Man, Ray Bradbury. A classic. First Edition.
Crossings, a play about the fey by Walter De La Mare. With a color plate, music, and interior drawings.
Russian Tales and Legends, Charles Downing. Lots more to feed my fairytale addiction.
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, with a beautiful old gilded cover and a neat bookplate and sketch inside.
Exotic Alphabets and Ornament, William Rowe. Principally for the beauty of the thing.
Thrice Told Tales, a collection of the world's folktales for scholars, with references. Beautifully designed in three colors.
Designs and Patterns from Historic Ornament, also okay for reproducing!
Five Colours of the Universe: Symbolism in clothes and fabrics of the Ch'ing Dynasty, John E. Vollmer. The title says it all!
A book featuring reproductions of Erte's clothing designs. So beautiful. Great captions. Droolable fabrics. Skye--I want you to see this book and be inspired.
Now I go to do work.
