More book photos

Four more pictures:

The first is a double page spread from the Folio Society facsimile edition of Blake's Jerusalem. The second is the cover of the Folio Society The Consolations of Philosophy by Boethius. The photo doeasn't quite do it justice as the gilded parts are really much shinier than they appear. Finally, the cover and frontispiece

The whole Conrad series is very good.

Ah, Boethius! The subject of the only joke Thomas Aquinas is known to have told (assuming, that is, that one does not hold his entire life's work to be some form of elaborate joke.)

"The argument from authority is the weakest form of argument, according to Boethius." - St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica

Thaks, very much--those are wonderful (and also the additional Conrads in the later post).

If you want to come over and look at stuff just holler. I don't even get the good stuff out often because of the furry monsters.
