    Default An inspiring book on mazes & labyrinths

    A friend & fellow DM sent me this beautiful link to a public domain book on mazes and labyrinths through history from 1922.

    Mazes & Labyrinths.

    And some photos to whet your appetite:

    Yes, archive.org & other sites like it are an absolute treasure trove! I'm glad every day that Ravells has shared "The Public Domain Review" with me ... now, once I get a tablet, that'll be even more fun to browse & peruse!

    Brilliant find! I'm so glad you like the PD Review. I keep going back there, it's got some great stuff in it and it's so well curated.

    I hope to get around to reading the whole thing soon, but there's just so many books, my pile of "wonderful, have to look at!" content keeps on growing & growing!
