Pretty Things

Just some basic snaps of real pretty things that came in the UBC this week:

Love this cover of Muriel Spark's Memento Mori:


A beautiful book of poetry and Tibetan calligraphy that my picture can't do justice. Come in a take a look:


I don't know why but I want to live inside the cottage on this cover of Wordsworth poems:


And finally, the woman who once owned and collected these fine Modern Library editions we acquired sure had immaculate handwriting, it almost looks like its own brand of calligraphy:


Come get lost in your own aesthetic reverie in the basement with me. Carl's on vacation so there's no classic rock playing. 

But seriously, Carl, come back.
