Rosetta Project - Download Vintage Children’s Books


Pied Piper - Childrensbooksonline.orgI find I’m more and more interested in vintage design, having recently purchased a few vintage books containing some beautiful illustrations (more on that later).

Thanks to Lifehacker and Wendy Boswell for sharing a great archive of vintage children’s books at childrensbooksonline.org. It’s a huge collection of downloadable books, some including audio and multimedia. It’s a volunteer-driven site, so if you appreciate what they’re doing and are so inclined, please donate for their efforts.

It’s nice to see that though the physical books will one day return to dust, they will live on in the cybersphere.
