I was almost floored, I have that book!!!!!, purchased in the '80s in Japan. A wonderful little book and this is the first time I've seen it other than in my bookshelf. I hope to revisit.

It's hard to have a weakness for big art books when you realize that it's hard to carry five home at a time! :D You described the appeal of the library so well: free and an extension of my own library....I just realized that the suburban public library I went to as a kid was probably where I first realized that everyone did not dress the way people around me did. That book looks so awesome...I love that it seems to show every possible color combination, not just someone's idea of the "right" ones. You are not alone in checking out too many books to carry.

Back in the dark ages librarians used to be given smocks to protect their clothes from dust, these librarians found a whole stash and are modelling them here for you. I love, love, love the hairy guy in the rainbow floral number. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cclstaff/ More library fun!!
