]]> I know your not meant to judge a book by its cover and it’s something i tend to fight by i am a bit of a sucker for a good cover. The forthcoming book ‘City A Guidebook for the Armchair Traveller’ by PD Smith is one of the best we have seen in recent times. Of course PD Smith is also a very good writer so its bound to be a great read.

Over on his blog ‘Kafka’s mouse‘ Peter notes that writing a book is a solitary process. For months and often years, the book only exists in the writer’s mind. Sometimes, as you write, that book can seem like a mirage on the horizon, its form shimmering and changing before your eyes. Believe me, it’s disconcerting. But you press on.
We are about to pre-order a copy via Amazon.co.uk | Amazon.com

]]> Readers of the blog will know that we don’t normally do book covers, but like buses you wait for ages and then two come along at once. So following on from the Virtual Geographic Environments cover we present Land Value and Taxation: Theory, Evidence and Practice:

The cover design was by Peter Holm at Stirling Hill Productions with the illustration courtesy of our Greeble City. For those interested we also provided the illustration for The English Legal System by Gary Slapper and a work of romantic fiction published in Ireland uses our panorama of the K6 Telephone Box. Sadly we lost the title of that one when moving mail boxes a while ago so if anyone knows of it do get in touch…
