This children's story about an heroic St.Bernard is sub-titled 'How a dog from the land of snow made good in the land of no snow'. Written by Forrestine C.Hooker and published in 1921. It was Avarded to my father as a sunday school prize in 1923 for Regular attendance. It is quite a readable story today.
Project: Reading Space
Designer: Mike Erspamer
Course: Typography 2
Instructor: Kim Beckmann
Project Description: Explorations of a reading space. Reading Space is a project in typographic resonance, where students carefully consider how the combination of word, form, and context
can amplify, shift, or redirect meaning. The four conceptually driven elements
of space: point, line, plane, and volume will be prominent considerations in the
conveyance of meaning. Continued consideration of issues surrounding legibility
and readability will be applied to three-dimensional space.

Today's Reading Terminal Market had its roots in the Butchers' and Farmers' and Franklin Markets, both located on the 1100 block of Market Street. In 1890 the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company purchased this block for its new terminal. The merchants' refusal to relocate for the new building resulted in an agreement to erect a new market tucked beneath the train shed and tracks.

Reading Museum's prize exhibit is the Silchester Eagle. Silchester, between Reading and Basingstoke, was a major Roman city. In 1866 this wingless Roman Legion Eagle was excavated there. It was the inspiration for Rosemary Sutcliffe's 1954 book "The Eagle of the Ninth", on which the 2011 film "The Eagle" was based. Awesome, even if it does look more like a chicken.

The Senior Common Room at Reading University Whiteknights campus is the remains of the mansion that the campus was the grounds of.
It is a common design feature to emphasise the symmetry of a design by making sure there is an item in the centre; on the line of symmetry. In this case, that's the middle window on the first floor.
The thing is, to suit the internal layout of the building, behind that window is a wall. There's not even any glass, it's just stonework painted black. I don't want to think about how many students have been through this uni and never noticed that.
