books








art can sometimes be found in unusual places.
this week, the library in a local town near me, was having a stock-sale.
i saw it as a chance to buy some books i would never buy for high price, books i would nevertheless love to own and read.
i ended up leaving there with a pile of over 50 books. 10 were for reading, the rest i bought because of their hugely attractive book covers, their illustrations.

i'm thinking about, contemplating still, but i suppose i'll start working with these old covers.

i did the same thing a few weeks ago...i bought a bunch of old sheet music simply because i loved the cover illustrations. i'm not sure what to do with them yet...
