    "Edinburgh is a good subject, for it is a peculiarly civic city ('civic' is their favourite word)"

    I've never seen that - it looks just marvellous. Must must must buy a copy! It's everything I've been trying to achieve with my own creations. My new favourite thing.

    "does it have the Edmonstone Waggonway?"

    No, just a train in P. St. Gardens.

    No bicycles either.

    K'nik - I think a modern-day sequel is required!

    It's been republished. I'm sure I remember flicking through it in a bookshop a while back.

    There are other books in the series too.

    This is...

    I remember seeing the SF edition in San Francisco and thinking it was well smart, then got home only to find the one on Edinburgh as well.

    I really fancy "This is way to the Moon". 60s-tastic.

    Well I did pop into the fabulous Analogue Books on Candlemaker Row thinking it might be on sale. And it was. But then I saw this and spent my book money on it instead...

    Modernism and folklore in contemporary graphic design. Catchy, huh?
