That moment when you click on a link for a book, fully expecting to be taken to an Amazon or University Press page, but instead get a digitized copy with a download link.

So please enjoy Pen and Parchment: Drawing in the Middle Ages, by Melanie Holcomb in conjunction with the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The MOMA has a lot of books to download, actually. It was just nice to stumble on this one unexpectedly.
