Glimpses: “Day 048/365 – Busted!”

Day 048/365 - Busted!

There’s a lot of things that I love about this photo, but the publishing dork in me swoons for that classic mid-century Futura sans serif font used on the card. It’s gorgeous and brings up so many memories. It reminds me of being a college student and devouring used copies of post-war literature I picked up at Powell’s in Portland or Smith Family in Eugene. So text like that always reminds me of the back cover copy on all the old Grove Press novels and plays I read, with Roy Kuhlman’s famous covers. Thanks for a moment of reminisce, Tony!

    The Monopoly set that came out of was a 1935 replica set with real wood houses and hotels, no prices printed on the deeds (that came in a much later edition) and an old world feel about the cards and pieces.
