Thanks for that heads up. I can postpone till tomorrow, no problem. Might even go both days :-)

Wow, wow, wow!!!

If anyone tells you this is good, don't believe 'em. Good doesn't cover it.

There are four separate elements to see: a large coffee table book of images, a pocketbook (A5-ish) with all details of all the sites, a series of 73 (count 'em!) individual pocket site guides and a series of wall posters.

To say I'm stunned by the effort put in, and the quality of the finished articles is a major understatement.

Imagine the recent Cornovia publication by Ian Weatherhill on the Cornish sites. Now imagine that repackaged into a useful format, expanded and of a quality that would not be out of place in Harrods. I loved the Moleskine type pocket at the back of the pocketbook. Please keep that cover in any final publication!

In design terms, this was easily the most commercial (read: I can imagine this on sale in high street shops) item in the exhibition. CE - you must make every effort to get the movers and shakers in the publishing industry along to see what you've achieved.

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow lunchtime. Consider my advance order placed for one copy (or possibly two) of the pocketbook and a full boxed set of the pocket guides.

Oh, and you might need some more bookmarks - people seemed to be picking them up and taking them away...
