I'm not a big Elderscrolls fan, but I stumbled across this site that was made solely to house The 36 Lessons of Vivec. And not only to display them, but also to provide annotations both with lore-dependent context as well as the presenter's insight. Cool for those that are into the series, but for me personally, I'm linking it because I think his site is well-constructed and has nice features for annotation, something I'd want to study for its codding.

A fun website archive that shows spreads and other things of specific fonts in use in the wild.

Similarly, tumblr blog, font seeker, has a little hobby of identifying fonts in adverts.

A few days ago I was thinking about how one of the highlights of my childhood was getting the Christmas JC Penny Catalogue in the mail and scouring through the toy section and wistfully covet things in there we knew were too expensive for us to ever own. Out of curiosity (and a desire to put a name to a specific item I was curious about) I went looking to see if there was any archive of the catalog and lo-and-behold!
Not only did I find at least one catalog from the 90’s, I found a site that contained several catalogs over the last 80 years from multiple department stores.(And for those curious to know what specific Item I was looking for, it was #6 on this page.)
