If the real world looks bleak around you, and even the grass is no longer green, there's nothing better than to escape into a book ... Seen on what used to be the lawn outside the University Museum of Natural History (there are in fact underground library buildings underneath that lawn, which may be why it looks less than perfect).

Hace poco tuve que cubrir la misa de una graduación universitaria, en el aburrido protocolo vi algo curioso a lo lejos, el monje de la catedral leyendo con un extraño artefacto muy concentrado. Me acerque y no pude evitar tomarle unas fotos. Increible como se las ingenio para poder leer.
La gente es asombrosa!

The Stephen A. Schwarzman Building of the New York Public Library, more widely known as the Main Branch or simply as "the New York Public Library," is the flagship building in the New York Public Library system and a prominent historic landmark in Midtown Manhattan. The branch, opened in 1911, is one of four research libraries in the library system. It is located on Fifth Avenue at its intersection with 42nd Street.
The Library's famous Rose Main Reading Room (Room 315) is a majestic 78 feet (23.8 m) wide and 297 feet (90.5 m) long, with 52-foot (15.8 m) high ceilings. The room is lined with thousands of reference works on open shelves along the floor level and along the balcony, lit by massive windows and grand chandeliers, and furnished with sturdy wood tables, comfortable chairs, and brass lamps. It is also equipped with computers providing access to library collections and the Internet as well as docking facilities for laptops. Readers study books brought to them from the library's closed stacks. There are special rooms for notable authors and scholars, many of whom have done important research and writing at the Library. But the Library has always been about more than scholars; during the Great Depression, many ordinary people, out of work, used the Library to improve their lot in life, as they still do.
The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965
The building

Marble on the library building is about three feet thick, and the building is marble and brick all the way through. The exterior is 20,000 blocks of stone, each one numbered in preparation for a renovation announced in 2007. It stretches 390 feet along Fifth Avenue.
Two stone lions lie at either side of the stairway to the entrance. The famous lions guarding the entrance were sculpted by Edward Clark Potter. Their original names, "Leo Astor" and "Leo Lenox" (in honor of the library's founders) were transformed into Lord Astor and Lady Lenox (although both lions are male), and in the 1930s they were nicknamed "Patience" and "Fortitude" by Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, who chose the names because he felt that the citizens of New York would need to possess these qualities to see themselves through the Great Depression. Patience is on the south side (the left as one faces the main entrance) and Fortitude on the north.
Two bronze flagpole bases, sculpted by Raffaele Menconi to a sketch by Thomas Hastings (1912) and cast at Tiffany Studios exemplify the attention to detail in the structure's fittings
Before the end pavilions are flagpoles, whose sculpted bronze bases designed by Thomas Hastings in 1912 were realized by the sculptor Raffaele Menconi, who often worked closely with New York architects of the Beaux-Arts generation and had a deft command of the 16th century Italian Mannerist classical idiom that was required by Hasting's design.
The bronzes were cast at Tiffany Studios in Long Island City. They were rededicated to New York's former Reform mayor, John Purroy Mitchell.

Remove the screw in the hollow of the hand strap hole (you'll need a pretty thin screwdriver). Then remove the panel starting from the right side. You migh need to wiggle it a bit back and forth.

I can recall clipping car ads from Reader’s Digest as a young child in the mid-Sixties and these small format car ads have been a treasured piece of my automotive literature collection ever since. RD first began running advertisements in their US edition in 1955, but they began running ads in their overseas editions much earlier. The oldest RD car ad in my collection dates back to 1940 (Studebaker) and came from their pan-Latin American edition. I saved this ad showing the covers of the various editions of RD being published in 1960, as I have never seen a number of them and can only imagine what unique car ad treasures might be found within their bindings. Old copies of Reader’s Digest used to be a common find in thrift shops, rummage sales, etc. Up into the 1980s, RD was full of cars ads, although by 2000, the automobile industry wasn’t buying very much ad space in RD. My collection includes at least one ad from the following editions of Reader’s Digest: USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Peru, UK, France, Denmark, Germany, Italy, South Africa, Japan, SE Asia and Australia.
