Some of the earlier one's featuring people remind me of the old knitting pattern books you used to get in the 1960's... not that I remember them of course!... just seen reference to them in books ;)

good stuff! i'll have a couple to add soon. trying to figure out the bizarre isometric angle of this camera... seems to be a pre-photoshop job.
