Copies of my much trumpeted* book/pamphlet on DIY - A Secret History of Architecture - have arrived on my desk. I can't speak for the text of course but it looks lovely and the pictures - which are kind of the star of the show anyway - have come out well. I have no idea where it's available from in a commercial sense - probably not W H Smith's it's fair to say - but if anyone really, really wants one then I'll send them a copy.
Below this self-promotional boosterism is a genuine, 100% new post. I've also resolved to post more regularly now that my frankly exhausting trip to Australia is over and my work/family balance has been reset to somewhere like normal. The blogosphere (architecture section) seems to have had the wind taken out of its sails a bit lately what with the relentless advance of Twitter and the fact that many of the best on-line writers have become far too successful. It feels like a little life needs to be breathed into it, so if anyone out there fancies a go, now's a good time......
* By me pretty much exclusively.
Yes I'll have one - how do I pay for this?

Can I get one sent to Beijing? I'll pay the postage.
ReplyDeleteHi Charles, I'd really, really like one - if you send one to me via the things magazine address I'll send you an issue in return.
