Thanks to Systemic Christina for the link.  And it’s even a steampunk book cover! Via BoingBoing. LINK »

A wonderful website Systemic Christina showed me. It’s a bunch of library books that may not have stood the test of time, and have since become crazy-looking and/or ridiculous. Or sometimes just awful. Check it out.  LINK.

So there’s a book out there called Pictorial Websters. To put it simply, it’s a book of artwork from the engravings of Websters from the 1800’s. In other words, a look into the past. But as this video shows, it’s really a work of love and art. If you’re a book designer, print designer, print maker, book binder, or just like cool shit, you’ll be entranced in this video about it’s 10-year creation as I have been.

Backdated to not screw up the archive.  Actually posted at 2AM EST, so I guess you could say I still made it by PST standards, if you were one to care about such things.
