Alex Johnson is part of the online team at Britain's Independent newspaper, and a few years ago he started a blog, Bookshelf, devoted entirely to how we store our books.

In his just-published book...

(Click any for bigger.)Continuing onward with scans from the collected Indoor Sports comics by "Tad" Dorgan from the New York Evening Journal, ca. 1914.

Five years later, all the awkwardness was totally gone. All the same, Tad...
