odd book patrol is active once again

found a whole box of books from the 70s that someone apparently really into faith healing or something must have collected (theres a bunch more) may or may not obtain

as usual the 70s / early 80s american christian book cover aesthetic is just unstoppable

(also as usual weird place / weird lighting)

its just so aesthetic. honestly love that this is real

yeah tbh i started hitting the 1800s - 1900s christian stuff pretty hard at the start of the year. hit a few pockets and kind of got stuck but im kind of working my way to the pentecostal stuff... eventually. will probably pick up all these to prep the library (each a dollar)

speaking of the above quest also just found this. had a lot going on but have been meaning to look into a strange detail i heard - that the met museum gave the plate / fragment involved here to the LDS church later on, which seems odd from a museum general practices standpoint

i havent checked that out yet tho. if anyone in that world looks into it lmk.

also this looks cool

i read some of them. tbh im only slightly in control of the directions my studies go along with the art im making, it kind of goes in small jumps from related topic to related topic, so at this point i just have / accumulate kind of a library. that makes it way easier.

so ill take a “step over” into a related topic and get down like a few books or a ton of info about it and then float around and hit something else. things id recommend... yeah let me think about it. im away from The Shelves (tm) rn.
