Curiosities // Let's Enjoy Poetry

I don't mean to post books & such every friday, but this is just how it is working out. I thrifted this book a while back, and i think its incredible. I love the color scheme & the dots in the background.

Curiosities // Ed Emberley's Drawing Book of Animals

 // Scanned by Me

 I had never heard of Ed Emberley before I ran across this book a couple days ago. But now that i know that he exists, i must say I'm impressed. This book was published in 1970 & teaches children how to draw animals based on basic shapes they already know. They progress from simple to elaborate. They are quite beautiful, arent they?

Curiosities // The Letterhead

 

While out & about at garage sales a couple days ago, i ran into this gem. The book is simply titled The Letterhead by Ernst Lehner. It chronicles the general history of the letterhead & gives real modern samples. It is from 1955 & I am so happy I stumbled upon it. Its a real gem.

 

Each letterhead gives the information of the designer, company and the printer. There are all sorts of methods used for the letterheads too. There are a couple of letter-pressed ones in the bunch. It is just crazy the amount of detail & personality that is displayed through something so simple & everyday. It makes me yearn to have a need for a letterhead.
