The Prelinger Library

I heard about the Prelinger archives a couple of years ago - it's a collection of video/film spanning several decades. You can view and download them for free at archive.org.

I didn't realize there was a library too - this guy, Rick, has amassed a dazzling selection of books ranging from graphic design to philosophy to outer space. You can browse the titles online at the Prelinger Library website. But really, if you can, go down to visit it - these books are crammed into a dimly lit storage space, piled high all around. It feels like a place you'd find something special.

You didn't mention how intimidating the abovementioned library's curators are to certain parties, but that's okay. Thanks for linking my blog. The favor has been returned. Blogrolling.
