Over the last couple of months since my last Penguin update I’ve managed to make some nice additions to the collection. You’ll have to excuse the picture quality — I don’t currently have access to my scanner, so I’m relying on my phone’s camera for now which is less than ideal. Anyway, on with these additions (in no particular order (I can’t remember what order I got these in!)).
The House of the Four Winds, John Buchan, 1960 reprint
I recently started reading Penguin by Design, which is so far fantastic. It’s also inspired me to continue seriously with my old Penguin book collection, which currently stands at a colossal total of seven books! Well, I have only just properly started — I actually purchased three (below) from a bookshop in Rochester quite some time ago, but never got around to buying any more.
Voters, Parties and Leaders by Jean Blondel, 1965 print; Penguin Survey of Business and Industry 1966, 1966 print; The Economic History of the World Population by Carlo M. Cipolla, 1974 print
A friend of mine runs a blog called Pixelinx on which he documents his experiences and thoughts on web development. Recently, he invited me to contribute my thoughts on design — which I’ve started doing.
I know this sort of thing has been done to death, but I enjoy wasting office supplies too, you know.
