A problem with making text-heavy art is people stop to read it & I do not have an appropriately timed eye-contact script for this. Sometimes they read it out loud slowly and then look at me expectantly, & my best response so far is to nod my head gravely, like yes, them's the very words

corollary question for the cross-section of book history and video game nerds in my network What games include other bookmaking technologies/traditions beside the printing press? When the press is part of a civilization skill tree, do any other bookmaking technologies/traditions also appear?

A cool thing about working with natural history collections is we get to use metaphors like “the birds have alit” and “that tree has really grown.”

Fun thing! I'm looking at a copy of a book of summaries of Aristotle’s natural philosophy (Naturalis totius philosophiae paraphrases (1538)), and the book has a semi-circle mirror set into the backboard. Has any one seen this elsewhere? What's going on? A device to connect up with the Aristotle?
