On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

Based on a commentary by Athena Scalzi some two weeks ago, I decided to recommend this one to my local public library. This morning, I logged into OPL's web services and got confirmation that Logomotive has been ordered!

Looking forward to reading it as soon as OPL gets it logged into their collection for loan-out...

Seemed like a good mix of reading material while I had supper tonight.

One other thing: I picked up the above title, written by one Mark Ovenden the other week. Based on his handling of what's called Transit Maps of the World in the anglophone portions of North America and Paris Underground over the last few years, it seemed like a good choice. And I've been a sucker for a well-designed map - or book about such maps - since I was a kid.

Worth the money. It's thorough, it showed me stuff I'd never seen before, and gave me a sense of rail-related graphic design history that I may end up playing with for years.

Mostly, it's just fun.
