There's more to life than books - an imaginary library

[Anaesthesine]

God, I remember reading a few of these.

Beautiful and somehow very moving, like a glimpse into an alternate reality.

Thanks.

This, to me, could quite easily be his autobiograhpy cover and title.

Or this one, for that matter. Perhaps two volumes?

Great work Alf.

Some people need to see beautiful masterpieces again.

Thanks for bumping this thread - I didn't see it the first time round. Great job, Alf.

A worthy bump.

This is one of my favorite threads ever to appear on Solo. Just gorgeous.

While we're on libraries and books, a curated collection of important modern, mid 20th century graphic design books, periodicals and ephemera can be viewed here - http://www.thisisdisplay.org/ -, a far cry from Alf Button's discerning selection, but it might interest some.

Also, the British Library is to digitise up to 40m newspaper pages dating back to the early 1700s, and then make them available online - http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/gre...ers?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Very impressive, Alf, they look totally authentic.
