Today, I received a phone book with my mail. A hard copy. Yellow pages and all.

I wasn't even aware that was still a thing.

This is the oldest Linux book I have. It was published in 1999 and from about the same time I got hooked on open source and Linux. It took some years to fully embrace it, as in: using it exclusively for my art and design. From about 2002 I fully switched and never looked back. 🙂

Join me for the next read from A New Alice in the Old Wonderland at 1pm NZT today!
Come relax, chill, have fun.

Shiny new notebook design: The Lilac Fairy, based on the 1844 published fairytale bundle book by Andrew Lang. Which you can read at the Gutenberg project and the Open Archive.

#ScribesAndMakers 10, Book cover you like.

I'm absolutely smitten with Andrew Lang's original 1900s fairy book covers, charmingly illustrated by Henry Justice Ford. So much so, that I've taken to recreating and restoring the covers in detail so I can make them into notebooks and preserve them.

Currently, I have three restoration designs, and I am working on the lilac one. For which I really could use some more detailed images, so if anyone has one.🙏
