i really like the design, but could you explain what it means?

what is the text from??

brilliant

What does it mean? I guess it has something to do with being transported by books, but really I just wanted to create a mystery, like a sort of Victorian X-files. The text is from an eighteenth century dictionary. Here's the story that originally accompanied it:


From The Times, July 14th 1892: "Oxford: The academic community remains abuzz with gossip after the disappearance of young Jeremiah Mugglestone, MA (Oxon.), lexicographer, last seen on Saturday morning. Mr. Mugglestone, the youngest fellow of Balliol, whom Jowett described as being possessed of 'the finest mind in the Empire', had reportedly been in a disturbed state for several days.
"Colleagues state that he had become obsessed with the notion of 'beings from another world', and claimed to have discovered an 'alien' code hidden within the text of a pocket edition of Dr. Johnson's Dictionary. A close friend, Dr. Cadmus Bodway, puts Mugglestone's behaviour down to 'a suspected case of library fever'; nevertheless there have been no sightings of the scholar, while his distinctive bowler hat and personal copy of the aforementioned dictionary have been found abandoned amid a scorched patch of grass in the South Parks. A mystery indeed"

I KNEW it was from a dictionary- can't get those italic "n," "v," and "a" past me! :-) Seriously, as a self-proclaimed word enthusiast, I can think of no better way to perish than to be consumed (literally) by a book!

This is the smartest design I have seen. Cheers!

And I'm pretty sure I'm an idiot and it should be "passed."

okey dokey.

Posted by rockon13 23 days ago

That is a seriously heavy inspiration - I love it.
I was just going to tell people it's a Dr Seuss.
