Tim finds his inspiration in many places. Here are some amazing books he finds intriguing, starting with a book called 'The Art of Looking Sideways'.
He chooses an amazing picture of a shop selling coats - maybe in Belgium? - where the coats have been hung up in rows on the outside walls of the shop in such profusion that you cannot see the shop at all, except for the front door! Secondly, a 'picture' of two people having a meal, except that the picture is made up of words, which give you a hint as to what is happening in this little scene.
Then a book about kites, some of which are really unexpected. There is a flying dog kite for example. And then a figure of a man, floating in the air.
A book about Escher, except that the drawings appear as pop-ups - wonderful paper engineering!
'A Pig With Six Legs' is the title of a book that is all about clouds.
A book from Finland (and all in Finnish!) about unusual and often slightly specialised items which - in many cases - you might not be able to guess what they are for. A compendium of 'Whatsits'.
Finally, a couple of books, one about the Grand Canal in Venice and the other about the river Thames in London. Each book only has one page - you fold it out and get a very long panorama!

Tim gets so much enjoyment from his collections.
Then conveys his enthusiasm to the audience.
That first photo of the sales shop was in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1936. What an infinite collection of interesting books and toys Tim has. Long live Tim!
Every video gives such a soothing feeling but there's something about the sound of the turning of pages that really does it for me. Thanks for all of the content Tim and team, you give me everything I never thought I knew I needed ❤
One of my favorite books in my possession is the “25-foot-long Picture Maze” by Conceptis Puzzles. It opens up like the book on the Thames, but it is a maze you can follow from one end to the other, and if you fill the path completely the result is a lovely panorama picture. On the back you have the same maze, but already filled up with the solution. I think you would like it.
7:40 this "horse lip pincher" is a "twitch", in Germany it's also called "nose brake". It's still used today. Reliant method to put a "brake" on a horse before it stampedes off.
I had to look it up. I understand it is not harmful if used correctly, but the correct way looks horrible! I couldn't imagine how terrible it would be to use it incorrectly. I honestly couldn't tell you if I could bring myself to do something like that to a horse. A human on the other hand...
I'm joking. I would never do anything like that to Human. By the way a totally unrelated question. Where would be the best place to find one of those?
@@johnnypoo3166 lol you could probably find it at a farm supply or tack and bridle store
One to watch carefully again. What a magnificent book indeed! 🌟👍
Tim has a boat? I'd love to see a video about it, perhaps with some nautical themed toys!
There are some pictures if you go to the Community tab. It was about 3 years ago, so you have to scroll down a bit.
I decided to look. It's an old police boat, named Fair Cop. :)
Suomi mainittu. Torille!
Camera man is amazing) We not think about it, but it all looks so choreographed as if they make a rehersal before) Its really good work)
I'd love to see Tim explain and show more of the What's-its from the finnish book!
Escher book it's wonderful!!!!!
We want to see more of that giant book!
Yes....the ol kite.
Ultra Nice
0:01 lol
That clothes shop isn't far off what we actually see on the streets here in Manila.
Many shops put their items out on the sidewalk, or hanging from the outside of the store, to get peoples attention - without them having to enter the shop.
6:04 In illinois on Route 53 near Plainfield.
I came across a cloud formation like that. It was a storm front moving from South to North.
Driving south, as soon as I passed under the edge the rain was falling.
Please let me know some dates of the kite book : Author,Title and publisher , I cannot see it in your info text of YT
As a former ARES volunteer, I was lucky to see a roll cloud once, years ago.
Since I don't get out very often, I don't see as much natural formations!
Unfortunately, I don't have my nose in a book as often as I used to, since I watch videos on the various providers. And the books I do read are usually a technical manual!
Love your vids you’re my childhood
Nice
Cool beans
Squeezing the top lip of a horse is a way to make the horse calm down and stand still.
In teresting Books,Tim.
1:42 why are they under the table? Is this a clip in time, or a progression in a short period of time? Isn’t it generally the other one, under the table usually?
5:08 I appreciate the, Cloud Appreciation Society. Clouds don’t receive enough appreciation, in my opinion.
Damn! How i can't feel the time like that this was nearly 11 min video
8:00 Yes, Tim, it's a very good thing those pictures aren't in Finnish, or else we wouldn't be able to see them!
That road cloud appears here from time to time. I live in a small city in Brazil, called Aparecida. We have the second biggest church in the world. That cloud is crazy! I've seen ufologists say that cloud is literally a road, to hide spaceships routes.
The horse pinching device is used to calm the horse. And yes it looks horrible, but it does calm it.
Love il
Ordered Art of Looking sideways after your video!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@grandillusions Can you mention the author and publisher , also from the kites book ?
Just like drifting
You can hold a horses upper lip and it's supposed to help calm them down
Can you share the author or ISBN number from the MC Escher book?
Yes, PLEASE, Tim! I've always been a HUGE FAN of M. C. Escher's stuff....
@@The_Legend47 i think i found one second hand. gimme a sec
@@MrEp5 AWESOME! He was a GREAT guy 2 come up with these incredible MIND BLOWING images
0876548192 is the ISBN number. There seem to be new and second hand copies available online.
@@grandillusions thank you so very much, Tim! 😊😊
When I was a kid I saw a farrier (one who puts shoes on horses) use one of those "nose pinchers" to divert the attention (or gain control) of a misbehaving horse during shoeing. It worked well and gave the horse something else to think about.
👍
9:47 Tim should just take a panoramic picture of his house and add it to the end!
What, the pictures were in Finnish as well?
A British guy shows us a pig with 6 legs, possibly made by smoke stacks....
...from maybe a power station called Batterrsea......I wonder?🤔
I wonder what he would think of the book House of Leaves?
Tim has a boat?! My gosh I'd like to see that! Captain Tim!!
There are a few pics on the Community tab - about 3 years ago
📚😯
Oh, I remember the Cloud Appreciation Society from Taskmaster, when Hugh Dennis brought in his membership for it in the prize task!

The intro song needs a tune up. It doesn't match the pep of the original.
Odd
ayo first
No

Intro is too long and unnecessary
I love vertical and horizontal developments, its a simple fact of life a lot of people and just human designs and concepts do not understand the proper possibilities of expression in 3 and 4 dimensions like they should, it is often 2d and merely a reaction of needing to be designed by function and not a reflection of the possibilities by the realization of a given like a lot of the more impressive stuff out there.
Shame the pragmatic and proper use of higher vertical and horizontal expansions for most designs is often disregarded due to form factors and human habit to simplify things and standardize them instead of realizing the full potential of things. Its true a lot of such undertaking usually takes more material and efforts and the format has to be reworked to fit an extended portrayal but to me it always brings personality and provenance to such items.
I speak of everything from toys to books to machines here and so on, its crazy how our form factor modifications for most situations are usually straight up scaling of dimensions rather than a re-imagining of these same dimensions which would allow to show more in a single eye's vision, cram more features in a gadget or simply make some things better form factors to use and enjoy personally.
