Some Great Finds
Our Science Library was having a book sale. I found some amazing things that were creeping around the back of the collection:
The Complete History of the Japanese Car: 1907 to the Present (which is 1986 in this edition)- Great renderings with airbrush detail (back before they had computer graphics).
Stained Glass From Medieval Times to the Present: Treasures to be seen in New York- Great Shout Out to the Hall of Science for being the largest dalle de verre in the world. There's some amazing pieces at Kennedy Airport in the Protestant Chapel- has anyone ever been there?
Interaction of Color- A great black and white book about color.
Lorries, Trucks and Vans 1897-1927- Fun Pen & Ink Illustrations of cars. Great Marker work.
An Artist's Journey of Discovery by Constance del Vecchio- Great portraits of famous explorers (Balboa, Columbus...). The book in interesting because it shows her process and models for each portrait (it's also a signed copy).
