Books.

Despite how I try and curb my spending on what others may think is utter nonsense I just can't help myself.

I'm just a boy who can't say no (to a elaborately designed book of bizarre lists and items).

Of course to add to the want factor slap a limited edition label on it. 

So....Whoah Nelly check this out:


Just arrived today.

Who can't be totally absorbed by what Kajiwara Yoshikage feels are his 100 essential things in life?

I know, I know; a must have purchase by anyone's standards.

Written entirely in Japanese.

Includes articles (I suppose!) on everything from Dr Vranjes room fragrance to what looks like a selection of small magazines about lobsters. (I kid you not)



It will of course sit next to the other classics I own of this wonderful genre:

'TOOLS: Real Stuff For Future Classics'


'Personal Effects' by Hiroshi Fujiwara.




I love this stuff.








Was I dropped on my head as an infant I wonder?
