It's always good to rediscover a good old book, and coming across this scan of the 1900 publication of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is perhaps the most satisfying rediscovery I've ever experienced. Paging through this shows off a prime example of a book that was designed deliberately to be more than just letters and illustrations on paper. The typesetting and layout make reading this children's book extra dreamlike. If you haven't seen this before (and especially if you're only familiar with the Judy Garland film), I'm sure you'll love the experience.
