More noteworthy typography













Here's another lot of sheet music covers from the UWA annual Save the Children book sale. Sooo pretty. And there's still PLENTY more where this came from too! I'm actually kicking myself now for not buying ALL the sheet music I took photos of. Damn my initial stingyness!!!
Anyway, there'll be more sheet music soon! Then books! There's one really amazing book in particular that I'll do an in-depth post about. So, stay tuned... It will be very awesome!

Noteworthy typography




















As promised, here is the first instalment of stuff I picked up at the UWA Save the Children book sale. There's still another 40 pictures to go, and that's just the sheet music! Next is books, then the records on Black Soup!

Most of these are from the 50s. It's easy to date them because sheet music has a copyright date on every page. Some of these are even before 1920! I did end up buying most of them, I just couldn't help myself, they were sooooo pretty! As a result of this book sale, I'm actually going to start collecting vintage sheet music. Because they're excellent examples of illustration and typography from different eras — not just because they look pretty! That would be shallow.
