I’m just crazy about books. Not novels, but books on art, typography, printing, sign painting, design. Old, rare, whatever! 
Today I’m sharing a gorgeous ornamental Italian alphabet dated 1839 from my first edition ALPHABETS book by Laurence Scarfe. Each letter different in illustration and all printed to beautiful Pepto-pink pages. Click on images for larger JPG versions. 
These would be so beautiful framed, used for greeting cards, collage, most anything! If you make something with them, I’d love to see it!
And, speaking of books…Read my latest post over at SC Johnson’s Family Economics about collecting Christmas books!
