My brother, head techie at Texas Monthly mag, has again loaded me up with a huge box full of these beautiful books used by publications searching for images. Heavyweight pages, quality printing, mostly hard-back, I use some of these pics for collage, for making flash cards for my ESL students, for making cards, stationery and baskets, and for weighing down freshly glued book boards.

I will be glad to bring them to the meeting/party on Thurs. night and let you take your pick. Maybe you know a teacher who could use them in a classroom. My sis-in-law in Florida was thrilled to get a pile of these for her school! As long as you are not using these images for publications, anything goes!

see you Thursday!
