Neverside

Good turn out this year, as I got a 15" tv (to replace the one that turned blue) and a new hifi system (Still miss my huge 80's one tho) and a fair bit of chocolate. Oh, and Terry Pratchett's Going Postal in paperback to add to my discworld collection.

A couple books, and some cds.

A collection of Poe stories, called The Comple Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe. It has the ugliest cover ever. :P

I have that, a man that rented a house from us a year back had a whole cubbard of books and that was one, good stuff. Ugly cover indeed.

i'd be interested in hearing what you think of that, i saw it a while ago and thought it looked interesting but couldnt find any reviews on it :S

I think its great. It definitely isnt a book you just sit down and read. You just kind of flip through the pages and browse through it randomly. Basically it is just a collection of quotes, stories, or images that somehow relate back to art and design. The book is all about thinking like a designer, and just looking at things differently. I would recommend it.

I found it on Powells books for like $18, so it doesnt cost that much, and it is 500ish pages and hardcover.
