Lost Library

Aeronautics - Will man ever sail the skys?

Against all common sense you have returned to the Lost Library. Welcome. Now that you’re here, and cannot find the exit, why not enjoy yourself? Look! Can’t you see it? Your struggling has knocked open a most interesting book. The International Scientific Series Animal Locomotion with a Dissertation on Aeronautics authored in 1874 by J. Bell Pettigrew, M.D. F.R.S. F.R.S.E. F.R.C.P.E. Maybe its pages hold the secret to manned flight, and you can fly up, up, up and out the Library’s crumbling dome. Quickly now. The librarian is beginning to regain consciousness.

(click photo to enlarge) Welcome back to the Lost Library. To the right you’ll see a dusty bookcase. To the left you’ll see a telephone shaped like an ear. And in the middle of the room is a 7 story tall pile of burning books. Please keep your voices down while visiting the Lost Library. Someone may hear you.
