Over the weekend we headed out to The Bookman Used Books. This little gem located in Orange is the best bookstore around. We head here all the time to get inspired by the huge collection of out of print and rare books ranging from Art & Design to Military History and everything in between.
Don't judge the Bookman by its cover---it's filled to the brim with treasures.
He's probably reading Camus.
As soon as you walk in on your right you'll find a wall of Art, Design, and Fashion Books.
Follow us down the Rabbit Hole...
R. Crumb Treasure behind glass/A whole section dedicated to the Beats.
The walls are adorned with beautiful oddities.
President/Actor.
Midcentury Typography/Turn of the Century Hipsters.
If you get a chance, look up all the covers of these Pelican Books---great design.
The Natural House with a matching aesthetic.
The Bicycle and the car compete/2014 print inspiration?
One last perusal of the 97 cent section before heading out lands me a copy of the Stars by H.A. Rey. It's a great mid-century book on stars with great graphic design and illustrations.
