Here at Criminal Element, we're suckers for some cool looking book-art, and the newest piece by book artist Guy Laramée has our jaws on the floor.

Our dad bought the family a set of Encyclopedia Britannicas, and whenever any of us kids asked him a pernickety question about life’s sweet mysteries he’d say, “Oh look it up in the encyclopedia.”
