    Post Pictures from Old Books

    I apologize if this link has already been posted. I did a search and it didn't come up so I thought I would post it just in case. Here's an interesting site that could prove to be useful illustrating one's maps and/or creative projects. The site has over 2340 high-resolution Public Domain images scanned from more than 100 different old or rare books.

    Cheers,

    Yup thats a great resource and it has been posted before but it used to be called liamsoldbooks or something like that. But yes, I use that a lot. Its got some really great borders and fonts. Its worth checking out.
