ex libris or “from the books”

a cold and rainy sunday night spent at barnes and noble produced the following discoveries and purchases…

a very edith piaf-inspired photo shoot in the current issue of zink magazine. swoon. and another surprise, much of the clothing was supplied by jersey city’s another man’s treasure.

this awesome illustration of coney island folk, found in abandoned cars by tim lane.

i was overwhelmed by the travel section while looking for books for my upcoming trip to london, paris and amsterdam in december. i settled on a few by time out because they seem so familar to me in their format and style, but i am feeling a little unfullfilled with them. maybe i can get away with just scouring the internet for the little tidbits of info that i am craving for my travels…

ah i love books.
also, i recently printed out personalized book plates from a lovely ex libris image i saved a long time ago. click here for the template that i made.
