The Guardian film blog has an interesting post about Welles's work with television
http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/filmblog/2009/dec/17/orson-welles-television#box
to help announce the broadcast of
Orson Welles' Sketchbook series, which will start on BBC Four on 18 December at 7:30 pm and be available online
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00pgv42/The_Orson_Welles_Sketchbook_Episode_1/
soon after. Can anyone tell me what time that will be EST?
Also, I read about this book on Boltype
http://flavorwire.com/53407/holiday-gift-guide-books-for-nonreaders
and thought it might appeal to some of my friends, especially as it is produced by a local (Waltham) printer:

Pictorial Webster’s: A Visual Dictionary of Curiosities
Do you love dictionaries but hate words? Then this book is for you. It is exactly what it says on the cover — a collection of all the wonderful old engraved
illustrations from the Webster’s of the 19th century. We’ll leave it up to you to decide whether the book “acts as a visual Finnegan’s Wake of 19th Century
America” as its compilers claim. We’re still busy just getting lost in its pages. Samples
here.
