As mentioned in a prior post, I picked up eight books for me and 13 books for Massimo at the Frankfurt Book Fair. They are (in no particular order):

There’s nothing funny about design by David Barringer (Princeton Architectural)
The Good Doctor Guillotin by Marc Estrin (Unbridled Books)
Type & Typography: Highlights from Matrix, the review for printers & bibliophiles (Mark Batty)
The True History of Tea by Victor H. Mair & Erling Hoh (Thames & Hudson)
Lettering & Type by Bruce Willen and Nolen Strals (Princeton Architectural)
The Magic of Small Spaces (fitway)
Wallpaper* City Guide London 2010(Phaidon)
Wallpaper* City Guide Stockholm (Phaidon)

So, some people might not consider those last two to be books, but they’re bound, contain text, and sit on my bookshelf, so they count.

ABC by Peter Blake (Tate)
Miffy the Artist by Dick Bruna (Tate)
Bob & Co. by Delphine Durand (Tate)
Timmy the Tug by Jim Downer and Ted Hughes (Thames & Hudson)
Mr Peek and the Misunderstanding at the Zoo by Kevin Waldron (Templar)
I know a lot of things by Ann & Paul Rand (Chronicle Books)
Hippo! No, Rhino! by Jeff Newman (Little, Brown)
Alex and Lulu: Two of a Kind by Lorena Siminovich (Templar)
Let Freedom Sing by Vanessa Newton (Blue Apple)
Shapes That Roll by Karen Nagel and Steve Wilson (Blue Apple)
Lilliput 5357 by Stefan Czernecki (Simply Read Books)
Kid Made Modern by Todd Oldham (AMMO)
The Red Shoes by Sun Young Yoo and Gloria Fowler (AMMO)

There were a number of books from Tate, AMMO, and Mark Batty that I wasn’t able to get (either because they ran out or because I couldn’t shoulder the weight), so I suppose I’ll have to order them. Oh, well. In all, I spent 120€ on 290€+ worth of books. Not bad!
