Il Colombo : Regioni Esterne del Corpo, Scheletro, Sistema Vasale, Muscoli, Organi Interni

1924

Italian-language book on the anatomy of the pigeon. It includes a color illustration of a pigeon and a pigeon egg. The pigeon is composed of two large, double-sided flaps and a series of smaller flaps, each of which lifts to reveal the anatomical layer beneath it, from the pigeon's outer body to its skeleton, vascular system, muscles, and internal organs. The egg is composed of three double-sided flaps that depict the stages of embryonic development.

More images on our digital collection site. And our Director of Library Services wrote a blog post regarding the flap books! Check it out below.

Just super-cool Jim Gordon in his trenchcoat and speedo, walking down the Gotham beach. He's so cool he doesn't even need to fight crime, because cops don't.

August: Day 8

Adventures

Went to a thrift store and the library's used bookshop.

Bought a copy of Around the World in 80 Days that looks more readable than my current copy (so long as it's not an abridged children's edition). May make a new cover for it.

Bought a book about the basics of astronomy. If I'm going to write about an astronomer, I need to know a tiny bit, and this looks like it's written for idiots with short attention spans, so it'll be great for me.

Bought the coolest pop-up book I've ever seen. For a quarter. I'll have to show you guys pictures.

Treated myself to Youtube videos about Victorian literature. Indulged in a few Gutenberg downloads. Read the first chapter of Lady Audley's Secret and this may derail all my reading plans until I finish.

Accomplishments

Read a few chapters of Heretics. Am now halfway done.

Tire. Twice.

Signed up for a CPR refresher course

Biographers will be like "this is an attempt to present an unbiased and impartial account of Hamilton's life. Hamilton was diminutive--some might even say elfin! He was 5'4 with glistening violet eyes like amethysts. His hair was said to be full and silken, and he had plush, pink lips (don't ask how I know!) Though he was small, he could drag a cannon across a war-torn battlefield singlehandedly, and could bench 4000 pounds. He wore breeches like no other, and was the lawyer-est lawyer to ever lawyer. He wasn't president, but if he had been, he would have kicked the shit out of George Washington('s legacy)!"
