They Oughta Make a Photobook: 9 Old Postcards about books and photography

Sometimes what you find on the internet will shock you.  Sometimes what you find on the internet will warm your heart.  That's what CardCow is all about.  "Vintage Postcards and Collectibles" is a collection of thousands of scanned postcards (back and front!) that range from Apples to the Zoo in postcards!  What fun!  All searchable and loads of fun to search and find some good stuff.  All or most can be purchased and many of them can be used to post on your own site!  Here are a few of the book/photography motif.
