Browsing...by the Book

The marks of quality Art, Architecture, and Design images found through Google may lack the genuine experience of browsing. You may find the book or article "online" but there are advantages to browsing books and monographs:

- CONTEXT. Context scales from related text and images in a chapter to books on the shelf. Browsing from book to book, skimming pages, are all part of Serendipitous Browsing.

- QUALITY. Images online can be high quality when "born digital" but often they are REproductions which are pixilated, blurry or cropped. Not to mention, maybe plagiarized.
