In my local junk store (I am protecting its name and location to protect my precious resource - out of pure selfishness) I found a freshly arrived bag of books that had not even been priced yet. Bless those folks who only get the bug to dispose of their grown children's school books the week I revisit my favorite junk store. Most people would have thrown these texts away. In thanks, I offer up my good wishes to their previous owner, Marcello: I hope you learned much from them and have put that knowledge to good use since school, if indeed, you still are among us (and I very much hope that you are!). Secondary school always seems much more appealing at a great distance, doesn't it? These Italian workbooks date to 1960 or so.
What gems! The example drawings and diagrams are so lovely and so inspiring. When the weather warms I'll be using them for photocopy lithography and collage.
