#ILCD10 #BCEPantheon
A cover page that says 'The Katabasis Book Nook', with a Lego book nook on a shelf surrounded by mythology and Underworld-related books. Side view of the book nook, with text that says, 'This year, for International Lego Classicism Day 2026, I'm building an Underworld Book Nook. View of the Lego book nook in the dark, with light-up Lego pieces providing illumination. Full side view of the book nook, with windows and characters.
