Writing books -- by hand.

My e9 and sophomore Web Design classes have been looking at typography the last few days - and we talked a bit about how books were made before the invention of the printing press.

Wouldn't you know it?  Today I see this tweet from Colossal (https://twitter.com/Colossal):



The website they are recommending is a blog all about medieval books - with lots of beautiful examples of the writing and artistry:

We'll be looking at this site during class next week for sure!




If you aren't already following Colossal, check them out.  Their website is: http://www.thisiscolossal.com/ 
Lots of great stuff for designers, artists, thinkers, and people who just like to look at cool stuff.  Very inspiring!
