Lately I have been rummaging through old printed material in search for things I really like. This is all part of a top secret super project, which I cannot mention. Most of the stuff I have been finding has been of actual printed pieces. I feel they are more unique, and in using them, I will most likely never see them anywhere else.

However, this is not to say I will never use another source for inspiration. This came across my radar via Lifehacker as a, “Download free vintage children’s books at the Rosetta Project,” post. To me, I saw a gold mine of old content to use in design. It’s a mashup world.

Enjoy the long list of scanned children’s books. There are a ton of stories and I would love to see someone do something. As for my top secret, it has been spurred by my disdain for Movable Type (which barely runs on my servers anymore) and my love of something new.

More on that soon.
