A Journey Round My Skull’s curator, known only as Will, describes the blog’s focus thusly: “Unhealthy book fetishism from a reader, collector, and amateur historian of forgotten literature. Recent obsessions: illustration and graphic design from around the world.” Most recently Will has collected illustrations from French health texts circa 1967… which more closely resemble Heavy Metal magazine images from my mispent youth.
