So over in Germany, they have this fantastic idea. They shove bookcases full of books out onto the sidewalks, fill them with books, and let the community read. Anyone is free to browse and take books (they only ask that you gift a few books of your own in return to keep the shelves stocked). I love this!

I love those steampunked Star Wars costumes! SW really lends itself to the genre, and Outland did a great job.
