FLOHMARKET







Being dragged around Berlin's many weekend flea markets by your bargain hunter girlfriend can sometimes be very rewarding* Whilst gem sat and waited to leave, I spent the best part of 2 hours searching for books and other typographic treats and boy did i do well.

Things I bought:
3 copies of GEBRAUCHSGRAPHIK (1960/1962)
Marken Zeichen Signete (1970 Berlin)
Lettering Today (1964 London)
Type and Typography / The Designer's Type Book / By Ben Rosen (1963 New York)

Sorry for moaning Gemma - yes it was worth going*
