It started a while back with this book of Rolling Paper Graphics, a book I picked up at my favorite bookstore in Santa Monica, Hennessey & Ingalls.  Then last week I got this little nugget:

Firecrackers:  An Eye-Popping Collection of Chinese Firework Art is a great little book that I can't stop flipping through.

While looking these treasures up on Amazon I came across this book of Transit Maps of the World, which look fabulous, as well as a slew of books cataloging matchbook cover designs and other label art.  Look up just one of the books I've mentioned here and you'll find oodles more!

I'm crazy about maps...maybe because I'm always looking for direction in my life. My very favorite collection is You Are Here: Personal Geographies and Other Maps of the Imagination, by Katharine Harmon.
