Art and design books
I've been buying and collecting art, design and typography books since I started at art college. As my shelves have slowly filled I've realised I don't have an accurate record of the books I own so I thought it would be a good execise to blow some dust off some books and record them, and in the process re-discover some forgotten ones. I've loosely categorised them to make finding them easier. As the list grows I'll expand my thoughts on each book as and when I get the time.
