If you come to our office you will see we love books, with images, with stories and perhaps the insights of creative and innovative 'authors'. If you visit my home you will see I love books of artists, cultures, science, poems, stories, many hundreds piled up on shelves and tables. Beautiful to crack open for a big dollop of inspiration. This list will change¬–as it should–because we are always shuffling books around as we remember the line from Blake "They became what they beheld."
