The logo above is a little humdinger I found in dad’s garage while I was back home. I think I was out scavenging for a beverage, tip-toeing on the cold cement, and saw this, and had to run back in and grab my camera. Otherwise, in my couch delirium, I’d forget about it.

Here’s another thing I found around the house: A man and his homemade t-shirt.

ONE OF THE COOLEST LINKS I’VE EVER POSTED ON HERE: Gallery of Book Trade Labels. Click that link, and scroll. Do it. Posted it about a year back or so. One of my favorites, ever. Make me want to shut down the factory floor and go hit the used book store. I just might.

WHEN BEN SMITH TALKS, WE LISTEN: Here’s what he had to say, “Mikey Burton and Cranky Pressman have been doing some great work as of late. Check out his “Don’t lose heart” coasters. Makes us Ohioans proud.” Indeed. Check out what he’s talking about right here: Mikey Burton and those coasters.

Check out his Logos section. Some incredible stuff in there. Oh-hi-oh!
