Book obsession!
I love books. I buy more books than I read. I love book shops. And even though I think I’d love a kindle for reading at night, or for the convenience of just popping it into my pocket, I reckon I’d still buy a hard copy of most of the books that I read.
I got carried away on the Taschen website on Sunday night and popped several into my virtual basket, but knowing the danger of shopping after a few drinks I was sensible enough to not go to the checkout until Tuesday. But then I went for it. Architecture, branding, art. Yee ha! Hope the delivery comes before the weekend, and when I’m here alone so I don’t have to justify my frivolous purchasing.
I’ll take the branding book with me to London next week to swot up on my way to the printers in london which I found through the city visitor site, but who turned out to be hugely helpful. they’re going to be doing some work for a client who seems to be using me as his marketing manager as well as business advisor. Have to admit I quite enjoy it as I get to practise a bit more of what I preach.
But back to the books. I don’t care for paper diaries, but Taschen say they’ll send a free one of theirs, I guess they have a few thousand left that they need to shed. I reckon I might even start using it for a retro feel.
