UPPERCASE goes Old School for Web Wares

Inspired by the world of graphic design, Uppercase opened it's Calgary gallery bookstore in 2005 and offers a range of graphic design books, illustration, typography and pop culture. They carry greeting cards designed by the resident artist/proprietor as well as beautiful file folders, binders and do-dabs for your home/work office space.
They are currently exhibiting an “Old School” theme celebrates the aesthetics of twentieth century education through an art exhibition and companion book, as well as curated objects. It is inspired by vintage flash cards, old desks, biology class, science fairs, crayons, card catalogs, textbooks, class photos, teachers, yearbooks, lunch boxes, gym class, maps, lockers, report cards, film strips, recess, spelling, chalk… and the list goes on! Here are my wanted web wares:
