I saw this book posted on Design Observer, it is a collection of 132 letters of complaint written to the Mayor of New York between 1751 and 1969. I liked the idea of this book so much I ordered two. I gave one away and the other I keep sealed.

PENGUIN BOOKS GREAT IDEAS
This is a series of books that is worth having, not only for its carefully selected content but for its beautiful covers. This was the first one I was given, I think it was at a time I was changing jobs. It was quite a serious read.

Anne gave me this beautiful book. I read it because its part of my history. It took me 1 month to get through the first 50 pages and 3 days to finish the last 750. I need to give it a couple of years and then I think I will read it again. (this is a reminder)
THE PHILOSOPHY OF ANDY WARHOL
THE PHILOSOPHY OF ANDY WARHOL (FROM A TO Z AND BACK AGAIN)
ANDY WARHOL
I first heard an excerpt on Typeradio a few years ago and had the book on my list since then. Finally I got round to it last summer, it was 45 degrees outside so there was no choice but to read till it cooled down. I hate to say but I could relate to some of Andy Warhols odd habits and remarks. When I finished the book, I really wished I could of met him in person.
