At long last, here is *most* of the book on the Baskerville font that I had to create for my Typography class last semester. It was up to us to illustrate the unique journey that each font took from past to present.

Nancy Drew
I love books. They are a present that you can open again and again. They are always a friend when you're lonely, and can take you to another world. If I could have my way, I'd have a huge library like the ones from My Fair Lady or Beauty and the Beast, surrounded by my favorite literature. In 100 years, who is to say that books will even survive? The internet is slowly replacing the worn, loved, and dog-eared pages that I love so dearly. So, books are a treasure to me. I have four 1930-1940 Edition Nancy Drew books that I got from my grandmother that I adore, as well as a number of other vintage books. The scent of and old book combined with hot tea is such a familiar and comforting scent that is one of my favorites.

Art Nouveau
I completely adore this book! I got it from my mom, who used it for her design courses in college. It has given me inspiration and joy time and time again! I love Art Nouveau and it's ethereal and winsome style, and I have included some pages out of the book for you to enjoy!
You can purchase this lovely book here!
Each page is lovelier than the next!
I just love how fairy-like and magical the drawings are. Gorgeous!
