Freakonomics.

So, for the next unit starting 13th January, my chosen (and by chosen I mean picked for me by Jo, thank you) book is Freakonomics. A joint venture by written by Steven D. Levit and Stephen J. Dubner, and wow, it really is a fascinating and gripping read! I cant wait to start this!

I urge anybody out there to read it but with this warning, it will grab you, take you and not let you go, ive read it, watched the movie and now almost religiously visit the blog and listen to the pod casts, if you are, as they so rightly say, interested in knowing the truth about everything, please, give it 5 minutes of your time, it will be worth it.

My Day At Printed By Mono..

After my many brief visits to Johns studio at islington mill, I finally got to spend a good day there watching as our final publications were printed off.

I tried taking as many pictures as I could and ask as many obvious and annoying questions that John could put up with.

A future post will feature the finished product itself but for now, enjoy the process...
