Antagonistic Books

I love Instructables, and since it is nearly Christmas I thought I’d mention it. Not just because its great, but also because these appeared this last few weeks:

and

Just something else to watch out for in archives I guess! (I can’t wait until the second one turns up only someone turned the ratchet around so it’ll only close…)

There is something about them both that reminds me of William Gibson’s Agrippa (a book of the dead) and that is something that has puzzled some of the archivists I’ve spoken with! 🙂
