#bookshelf stuff

[venomspecs]

Had some free time this morning so I figured I'd show yall some neat nostalgic stuff from my bookshelf!

A vintage animal sticker album that belonged to my father but that must've been lended to him by his cousin since he signed his name on the cover lol

A cd-book of the song Volta la carta by Fabrizio de André, a very nostalgic song for me and many others

A gorgeously illustrated book on monkeys!

Kamillo! I would spend so much time looking at the illustrations back then, they're so colorful. It's a story of a chameleon who can change the color of objects, animals and people on top of being able of doing so himself

My beloved edition of Pinocchio.. gorgeously illustrated as well (I still have a soft spot for Chiostri's illustrations because of the TV series lol)

By the way did you know there's an Italian comic where Mickey mouse parodies the divine comedy

Some more bookshelf stuff!

Two "comic" versions of the two firts episodes of the legendary French animated series "Il était une fois l'homme". They're less comics and more frames from the episodes repurposed for a book lol. These belonged to my father

Le fiabe della città bianca, a collection of traditional stories from Ostuni. The art style is super unique and awesome, it's forever ingrained in my mind. The stories too, I might make a post on them sometime because they're impossible to find online

A massive book about the history of paleoart I managed to get at a really good price and in a really good state at a market

A Mickey mouse book that teaches you how to play chess. It got pretty in depth for a kid's book tbh, it goes into some elaborate techniques. Either way my child self mostly just looked at the pictures lol

A small French tragedy on Phaedra I found in the metro, in a book exchange thing they do sometimes. Noticed Apulian vase painting -> neuron activated -> took it home. It's entirely in French, which I know less than optimally
