Chinese Fold Out Print
Ithaca NY is famous for the plentiful and eccentric used book and clothing stores found on the Ithaca Commons and elsewhere scattered throughout Tompkins County. I personally frequent Autumn Leaves myself and often am surprised at what I find. Being a pseudo local, I have had the opportunity to collect a good portion of graphic novels, science fiction, records (from the now dubbed Angry Mom records), odd old magazine clippings (a friend and me sat through laughing at how sexist, racist, and obnoxious our society used to be, imagine when future generations look back at us!), and numerous, numerous books. One of my most recent finds was a Chinese Print. When outstretched, the image is about twenty feet long and depicts an average day in the life of local Chinese residents along a river. Overall, an awesome find. If you ever are interested in finding unique items, look up a local used bookshop in your neighborhood and stop by. You never know what you may find...
