I liked it before it got ruined. Looking for new things to like. (He/him/they)

Of note to a very select number of people here: you can have Project Gutenberg as a source for books on GoodReads. (This linking function was broken for a few years and was fixed earlier this year on the Project Gutenberg side. Not sure if anyone noticed it.)

Screenshot of the GoodReads interface for accessing the book Pride and Prejudice. A variety of non-Amazon sources are shown.

I’m just (mostly) cleaning up old covers and not adding much, other than some digital polish. This one is coming soon.

The cover image is now rearranged into a more traditional and readable orientation. The previous cover was quite wide, and included the back. It is still available in the file collection. www.gutenberg.org/files/17135/...

The front and back covers or the original hardbound cover of “Twas the night before Christmas” featuring illustrations of 11 cute children.

I’m not sure the phrase “Young, yet mature for its age” for the Baby Swiss cheese slices is hitting customers in quite the way they (naïvely?) intended. At least in the current political climate.

@gutenberg.org the 15xx series of Shakespeare’s plays have new covers that look quite snappy! www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/autho... … if I do say so myself.

The titles of each of Shakespeare’s plays, as included in the first Folio. Each title is laid out with a touch of design and subtle typographic flair. The Comedies are on gold, the Histories on slate shades of blue and green and the Tragedies are on blood red.

How it’s going.

Living room, now with TV and bookshelves, a nice ‘LOVE’ poster and can lights. Some Christmas decorations around too.

I guess the writing was a bit over the top for the sub.

My post to r/bravia noting that the TV displays the chromatic aberrations of the source camera’s lens on some shows.

We went with the 55".

55" Sony TV on a dark gray IKEA console. Wires to clean up still.

@siracusa.bsky.social how did you decide on the size of the TV you wanted? Did you ever try a mock-up on cardboard?
