Gargantua by monikozi

Gargantua

The book images are both taken in camera, meaning that the black and white was not post processed from this one.
The book is an old version of Rabelais' Gargantua. I was unable to read it through. But I keep it because of the texture of the paper and of the print.
Great comp and texture

Great POV and focus

I like the composition and the old timing color, it doesn’t seem like an easy read.

Any book called Gargantua has got to be a difficult read! Sure makes for an interesting image, though

Love the look and the texture in your picture. I remember as a kid that my grandfather had a big box of books. They had a special smell and I can almost smell it through your picture!

it's a gargantuan of a book! i'd be very afraid to even touch it, i'd have a special easel for it and wear special cotton gloves if i have to read it. i love the smell of old books (apart from the dusts though if they're not kept well), and enjoy figuring out the Olde English and the calligraphy of the prints. as a small child, in my grand-uncle's private library, i would even read the old celtic and french books, even though at the time i couldn't understand a word. aces on the shot, my friend. i like it, in both colours!

@cocobella , I gave up reading it. During my studies, there were a lot of references to this book.

A book can be good in more ways: it can hold good ideas, it can hold good words, it can hold a door if the book is big enough, it can hold good details for photographs.
A book is always good.
