Ever wanted to flip through the original great books of the Western world? Now, thanks to the British Library you can! Go here There's Leondardo Da Vinci, William Blake and Lewis Carol's sketch books, Jane Austin's written and illustrated "History of England", ancient copies of the Bible and the Koran, the Flemish Golf book and MORE. All of them are in their complete form.
Finding this made my week.

Wow, that is so cool! Thanks!
This is the best thing. Of all time. I was amazed at how many Blake sketches I recognized as later finished pieces. It's fascinating to see his ideas in their initial stages. If only I could read the handwriting...And the Leonardo sketchbooks are one of my biggest sources of inspiration. Anyway, thanks for the find.
Dear Katy-
Can we please be friends? You are awesome.
