A Labour of Love

A digital archive of graphic design related items that are available on the Internet Archives This collection is compiled and curated by Valery Marier. It is a labour of love ran in her free time.
Oooh, I saw this scroll by in a comment on MetaFilter some while back or maybe I thought I saw it here when discussing a specific type of 90s style cover design on books/video games. But I'm not seeing them listed, so maybe its another site very similar to this.
Either way, cool.

The errata inserted into the start of "An Essay on the Forgotten Art of the Punchcutter" is just perfect. This is a great find.

I love using hundred year old sheet covers as a design start for my music store graphics, this is right up my alley.

Truly eye candy! So much time-wasting to anticipate. And if you like that, you'll probably like Type Hunting too.
