Scrolled through these over breakfast after reading the NYTimes headlines–guess which I enjoyed more! This is just a lot of fun . . . thanks for posting it.
I, too enjoyed looking at these barcodes and am now motivated to look for others. Thanks for your extensive examples. I found them very attractive.
How clever! Another thing to look for in a book!
