Lens-Artists Challenge: Books
I was a voracious reader from a very young age (although nowadays not so much) and my first post-university job was in the Liverpool City Libraries so yes, I can do books.
A couple of years ago I was ‘commissioned’ to take some photographs of books for a charity shop’s online sale. By far the most impressive set of tomes was this beautifuly bound and presumably encyclopedic 16-volume set of an illustrated history of France between 1843 and 1944.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it didn’t attract any bids. Realistically, who these days would go to the trouble of pulling one of these big beasts off the shelf and settling down in an armchair?

I think I might have… 🙂
A sad commentary on the state of hard copy books – especially encyclopedic tomes. I remember as a kid my dad subscribed us to an encyclopedia series and we loved poring through each volume. That was then and this is now. Sigh.
Curious. Pictures, illustrations, worth many words each, would pique my interest.
