Tom Gauld's Revenge of the Librarians

I'm still sick! Though I'm not any worse, went to to the doctor, and will probably start getting better, so don't worry.

Another book on my to-be-read pile was Tom Gauld's Revenge of the Librarians. Well, honestly, it wasn't on the pile that long; it was an impulse buy at Next Chapter Booksellers the last time I was there to pick up another book I had ordered. I figured I owed it to Tom for posting some of his cartoons here, and I knew I would enjoy it. 

And I am. I've been using it as a way to break up the day and other sick-time activities. It's a beautiful hard-cover volume that's a pleasure to hold in your hands, bound in bright orange cloth with gold foil-stamping:

What a talent.

Thanks to Drawn & Quarterly, Montreal's great comics publisher, for doing him justice.
