These are Syd’s visions of “Man and His Mobility 1990”. Published by United States Steel Corporation, Automotive Industry, Marketing, Southfield, Michigan and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. No date is given, circa 1967-1969. It was not sold but a promotional item given out to the art industry at the time.

I guess most people know that the title of Ray Bradbury’s novel “Fahrenheit: 451” describes the temperature at which books would start to burn.

To find out, Ray Bradbury didn’t burn a book with a thermometer inside. He instead called his local fire department as he explains in this interview.

The 451° value he was given was rather low and peculiarly specific though. The auto-ignition temperature of paper (ie when heated but not exposed to flames) by recent experiments lies around 480 Fahrenheit. It varies a lot due to type of paper (un/coated), thickness, composition, density, shape (open vs closed book). (source)
