For those who salivate at the palpable atmosphere surrounding old books; whose minds frolic to the dance of impossible Latin titles; or whose palms tingle at the thought of the touch of ancient volumes: let this take you on a journey directly into the arcane skills of the bookbinder. Not the mind, mind, but the thing itself, a space consisting only of bookbinding, where that is all there is to see and be.
I like revisiting old styles I once thought exhausted. A disc-julian, with the power low and the distance a hair's breadth, colour symmetry on the dominant transform tweaked to the point of scratchiness, whose appreciation fully depends on the full view.

Great texture and colour. I love this style of fractal and may revisit it when I have time. Thanks for the inspiration. Clever to associate this image with old books.
Thanks, Dzeni! I seem to keep making forays into this tyle and finding something new each time. This is certainly a far cry from the more usual high-tech look.
