I figured that to be an option but haven't been to a library since they used card catalogs which I imagine have been phased out :-) I have all of Davidson's label books and included is a great one featuring fruit crate labels. I think cigar box labels might be thought of as the granddaddy of them all due to their aesthetics, historical implications, and complexity - base ball and other cards not too shabby either. I love so much of the artistry offered in antique advertising by so many talented un-named artists and their execution of the task - but have limits and often books with pictures have to do.
