Acme Ideas

I might come across as all about the ones and zeros but I'm still of a generation who have an emotional connection to print and paper. I own one or two books and spend a fair amount of time visiting stationery shops online and offline in search of interesting notebooks. And my new thirst for graph paper needs constant slating.

So it was great to discover Present & Correct - a delicious online stationery emporium. I could have bought everything but restricted myself to a modest first order of four notepads which arrived today. Lovely stuff.

Equally exciting was the arrival of Art Space Tokyo, the beautifully designed guide to the hidden galleries of Tokyo. I became aware of this book after reading Craig mod's provocations on books and reading in the digital age. Craig then used Kickstarter to fund a new print run of Art Space Tokyo and while I am delighted with the print edition I am really looking forward to getting hold of the ipad version and seeing Craig's ideas put into practice. Flicking through this book has done nothing to quash my desire to visit Tokyo. I need to make it so.
