A page from 'The Smithsonian Book of Books' showing antique volumes in descending order of size. The largest is known as a folio, the next is a quatro, then,an octavo & finally, a sextodecimo. These terms are Latin for the number of leaves resulting when each big sheet, hot off the press, is folded.

What could have been. 1971 survey of the work of MidCentury architect, Eero Saarinen. Perhaps best known for designing the St. Louis Arch-Jefferson Memorial, Saarinen died prematurely at age 51. The buildings he completed reflect a soaring but strong era. Early in his career, he also designed furniture w Charles Eames. From the Library of Contemporary Architects. #Saarinen #architect #architecture #StLouisArch #Eames #midcentury #book #bookstagram #instabook #vintage #dtlabooksellers

Fresh start. "Goodbye Blue Monday" from Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s 'Breakfast of Champions' This is the "Or" in the title, as illustrated by the Great One, Vonnegut. No bull. By the way, this book is a 1973 first edition, but likely from The Saturday Review Book Club. It's Identical to the true first if that matters. I love Vonnegut, the author, almost more than his books.He knew we were robots before we figured it out. And he actually did something about jettisoning blah Mondays. He wrote a book. #kurtvonnegut #vonnegut #Monday #goodbye #blueMonday #breakfastofchampions #book #instabook #bookstagram #1970s #robot #irreverent #author #classic #illustrations #satire #nobull #bibliophile #freshstart #dtlabooksellers
