I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. To start off 2009 proper, here’s some links with pretty pictures of books and such. Eye Candy for Bibliophiles is a blog featuring covers of old paperbacks. Scanning through the archives I saw all sorts of old friends. Or you can enjoy these fake covers for an imaginary author. And here’s a compendium of beautiful libraries, including my local one. Lastly, Google has about two hundred years worth of Popular Science and Popular Mechanics scanned, online and awaiting your perusal. Me, I just enjoy looking at the old covers.
