I could spend fucking hours just pouring over little details in them. It was like an educational “Where’s Waldo”.

If my sister ever has kids I’m buying them a bunch of these to turn them into little history buff nerds.

    Here’s a nice little article about the illustrator (Stephen Biesty) and his greater body of work.

    There were copies in some of the local libraries and we must have checked it out a dozen times when I was a kid. It is very suprising to find just how weak the secondhand market is for these, listings are sparse and very expensive compared to other popularish childrens books of its age.
