Down to the Cellar

Here's a nice little picture of some of my books posted by my friend the illustrator Jonny Mendelsson or on his highly entertaining blog Down to the Cellar which displays some of the highlights from his wonderful collection of ephemera, books etc.

Some of these I no longer have a copy of myself. The red one at the front is probably from about 1992, while the concertina one a couple of years later which was I think a mail-out to art directors from the days when I was attempting to try to make a living out of all this.
