It’s been a while since I’ve seen a new site with neat old pictures. I have a tendency to just trawl Google Books to find old images, but this site — From Old Books — has a bunch of neat images along with all the citation information and sometimes some nifty stories besides.

    Oooh, love library/book nostalgia. I found a picture of a rotating book reader. funny. I have a link to the Hot Rod Librarian on Blogger (http://miamidiaries.blogspot.com). You’ll find nice Vargas girl-type librarian pin-ups. So bold! Just how we like it in Miami…
