Here I dreamt I was an architect

Because I am traveling I decided I should probably buy a bunch of really heavy books to carry around:

"thinking with type: A Critical Guide For Designers, Writers, Editors, & Students" Ellen Lupton
"American Rhapsody" Joe Eszterhas
"Handwritten: Expressive Lettering in the Digital Age" Steven Heller & Mirku Ilic
"The Education of a Typographer" Edited by Steven Heller
"Palimpsest" Gore Vidal
