The Chained Library of Zutphen

I took these pictures during a visit to the 16th-century chained library of Zutphen, in the east of the Netherlands. It is one of three such libraries still in existence in Europe. Nothing much has changed here for 550 years.

More info: http://www.librije-zutphen.nl/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=14&Itemid=111

Something about a library of chain-bound books is so very, very D’ni.

The Secret Door is essentially the digital equivalent of a linking book- one that only only takes you to places on Earth, anyway.

The site curates a series of particularly interesting locations via Google Earth, drops you down into them with no explanation, and invites you to explore. Pretty rad.

wowwww

Bless you for knowing what a linking book is.

This is a Myst blog, I better as hell know what a linking book is. ;)

Spacecraft | Rik Allen, metal & blown glass

I think the Selenitic Spaceship is one of the more curious anachronisms in Myst, but it’s definitely iconic- the moment I see any sort of retro-futuristic spaceship with tail fins, I think of Myst.

Despite being at Wild Wild West Con this weekend, I can’t escape finding stuff this blog- granted, the whole of Arizona looks like the Cleft, but the San Xavier del Bac mission is especially bringin’ it in the Myst department.

Hey guys-

Pardon the slow posts as of late! I’m prepping for my table at Emerald City Comicon (booth #107, come say hi!), so I haven’t had as much time to invest in Mystic Places and freshen up the queue. I have a ton of posts on the backlog, just have to source them all and make them presentable for all you fine folks. :)

Thanks for your patience and expect a deluge of posts later this month,

Never mind everyone, I was given all the answer I need by laughingpineapple! Thanks again! :D

I know you got the answer you’re looking for, but I just wanted to step in and say how flattered I am that my blog made you reconsider the series! I can’t speak well enough of Riven in particular and, as laughingpineapple pointed out, it’s amazingly easy to get your hands on it now. There was a period of drought when all of us were keeping old Macs around just so we could run Myst games, so it’s fantastic to have them made available to an entirely new generation of gamers.

Let us know what you think once you dive in,
