What a Random House you have


Alo-ha, today has been quite a long day, from dropping PDF's off at the printers to frequenting the local book-shop where I was lucky enough to pick up a copy of 'The Random House Dictionary of the English Language'. The book was published around the 1960's and was apparently the first dictionary to use computers in its compilation and typesetting. From cover to cover, the amount of information ranges from a beautiful illustrated dictionary, then english to French terms, an entire map seciton, methods of proof reading practices and a whole lot more. Upon laying eyes on the beauty I could not help myself, it now sits between the 'Great British Book Of Editorial' and my signed copy of American Psycho.
In relation to the printers I have been able to produce a short-run of posters for my 'I love type' illustration, beautifully printed onto coated 190 GSM poster paper. They are available as a numbered series at a cost. So if you would like one don't hesitate to email me (email found on my website).
Other than that, I am busy busy creating my itinerary for my London visit and also hopefuly putting together a few plans for creating a Creative Publication - Watch This Space on that one.
