Stephen Biesty is the illustrator and he did a series of these. This one is Castle Cross-Sections, but they’re all fantastic. If you like this style of book, also check out David Macaulay’s books including Pyramid, Cathedral, and City.

With as many problems as the Hobbit movie trilogy had, I can say one thing for sure: Martin Freeman was a perfect Bilbo. Him being constantly irritated that he wasn’t able to sit comfortably and have a meal, all the way from the Shire to the Battle of Five Armies, was flawless. Freeman was a very good John Watson in the BBC Sherlock, but if The Hobbit movies had been better then his Bilbo would have been up there with RDJ as Tony Stark and Patrick Stewart as Professor X as greatest casting decisions of all time.
There’s also a theory that the 5th circuit exists to make terrible rulings so that the Supreme Court can overturn it but do it in such a way that it still advances some horrible agenda.
Something along the lines of:
5th Circuit: You can totally post the ten commandments in schools, because hoorah Jesus!
Supreme Court: You can’t actually post the the ten commandments in all schools, just the private ones, oh and by the way it’s totally cool and legal to drain all the funding out of public schools and give it to private schools.
You’re 5 foot nothin’, 100 and nothin’, and you have barely a speck of political ability. And you hung in there with the best presidential candidates, grifters, and Russian mobsters in the land for thirty years. And you’re gonna walk outta here with a summons from Arizona. In this life, you don’t have to prove nothin’ to nobody but yourself and maybe the district attorney for Maricopa County. And after what you’ve gone through, if you haven’t done that by now, it ain’t gonna never happen. Now go on back to Arizona.
