Dover coloring books

[avram]

Y’know what’s a good, cheap source of reference material for illustrators? Dover coloring books. Yesterday I stopped off at Coliseum Books after work and picked up Fashions from India and Empire Fashions. Four bucks each!

I also got The Eyre Affair, the first of Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next novels. I was a bit annoyed that these were filed in Literature; I’d been looking in the science fiction section, ’cause where else are you gonna look for a book about a time traveler from an alternate universe where people can step into works of fiction? I guess the publisher figures this main audience for this series is the sort of people who think SF will give them genre cooties. I’m wondering if I should read Jane Eyre first. And maybe Chesterton’s The Man Who Was Thursday.

Then Games Club at bigscary’s place. I only played a couple games of Money, scoring 760 points in the second.
