Biblioteca de Filatelia de Oaxaca

This was a lovely accidental discovery, inside a charming museum.

The ultimate holiday reads by their location (infographic) - from ebook friendly

Firstly, have a look at the infographic http://ebookfriendly.com/holiday-reads-by-location-infographic/



It is nice, but Picnic at Hanging Rock is not the book to read while on picnics in the bush.  While it is years since I have read it, the idea of reading while in the bush is creepy (bad and unknown things happen, people do not all return from the bush).  The infographic is a great idea, but should come with a warning.

Porrua

This is a bookshop, but the slippery slide is too lovely to leave out

Porrua, revisited

Biblioteca de Mexico

This was very interesting as it looked like a series of connected libraries in one building.  There were libraries which had belonged to various people, and were now able to be used as research collections.  They were rather lovely in their design.
