Publishers’ Binding Thursday

Today’s Publishers’ Binding Thursday post features four books from the Easy Growth in Reading series: Faraway Ports, The Story Road, Along the Way, and Today and Tomorrow. The series was published by John C. Winston Co. in various editions in the mid-1900s. John C. Winston Co. was founded in Philadelphia by, you guessed it, John C. Winston in 1884. The company started out printing photo albums and soon after focused on publishing the Bible in almost 600 different editions by the time Winston passed in 1920. 

The company spent the next few decades focusing on publishing young adult books, including a science fiction series that is quite collectible. The Easy Growth in Reading series was created to help young people improve their reading skills, and features large text and stories about children. Several of the volumes also feature illustrated endpapers, shown here. The waving chicken and raccoon in the orange endpapers from The Story Road are our favorites!

...to be fair I do this while it's in sitting mode, too. Can't escape The Elbow Lean, RIP to my back.

ETA: before anyone says it, my vision is perfect, it's been checked, I'm just incapable of posture

#my art #tfw you stand up to avoid terrible posture in a terrible chair and then notice your posture followed you there #that 'monitor riser' is actually three of my thickest books lol #while my laptop is on the divine comedy and the chicago manual of style #my monitor lives on Mariposa Road the collected Jeeves stories and American Warblers #Two of the latter I haven't actually read yet because they've just become my monitor stand #I should. swap those out so I can read them sometime lol

Timmy bein Creepy (but not really)

When Tim spent time chasing Batman and Robin through the streets, he did a lot of "hurry up and wait".

While waiting, he would find ways to entertain himself.

He trained the crows to bring him money in exchange for food. He trained the stray cats to alert him when people got too close. He trained the stray dogs to track and do silent alerting when they found their quarry.

He spoke with small time thieves and learned how to pick locks and pickpocket. He spoke with the homeless and learned the best ways to disappear without a trace, even if the cops were right on his tail.

He stays up at odd hours, he sleeps in weird places, and he's mastered the art of waiting, so much that it's like waiting for the other shoe to drop just by being in the same room as him.

So when he became Robin, inevitably he came across as a little creepy.

Everyone soon accepted that he was Tim Drake and he was just Like That.

Then Damian came along.

Damian is absolutely convinced Drake is possessed by a demon, and he will prove it.

#batman au #robin au #red robin #robin #tim drake #damian wayne #story prompt #let them be brothers #damian going on a journey to save drake from the demon #tim going on a weird road trip with his murderous little brother #they have a weird relationship but they care #in their own ways

#fallout new vegas #new vegas #lonesome road #fallout #art #oc #lao #just finished this DLC again i forgot how much i like it #mechanically not just story-wise #like theres tons of locks to pick and theres useful items in every container #whereas the main game you rarely get to use the lockpick skill and containers are almost ALWAYS junk #marked men are fun enemies too esp when they suddenly use a stealth boy and you hear the sound effect go off #uhhh #the deathclaws sucked though #that did suck really bad

Oh. Oh WAIT. 

The Crow Road. You know, that book where the protagonist is searching for an answer to a conspicuous thing that happened. An answer that finally comes together through notes and omissions and bits of narrative and off-hand remarks.

And we were thinking that the book might be a clue for Muriel, or something to do with Aziraphale’s journals, or setup for the third season, or…

But the thing is. The thing is. 

What we are doing right now. What we are all doing right now.

We are the protagonist of The Crow Road.

The Crow Road was given to us.

#good omens season 2 #good omens #good omens season 2 spoilers #I— #the crow road #was anyone going to tell me #so many threads led to the Final Fifteen #and with Crowley and Aziraphale never talking about things #to interpret why the Final Fifteen happened as it did #to interpret the kiss #one needs to go back #and back #and watch the story that happens underneath the story
