Journeys #2

The second of a series of books about journeys.

A handwritten list of company names seen on lorries during a coach journey between Exeter and London.

I mainly produced this book to be suitable as a series of multiples, which are popular at book fairs. However, on reflection, I feel that  a much longer list or series of lists, bound together into a larger book, would have greater appeal to me, if not to visitors to book fairs. Having said that, people did buy a few!

I particularly like the methodical, even meditative process of hand writing lists of words/objects, or in this case company names. Aside from the process, the visual quality of handwritten text in capitals appeals to me, and, I think works very well.
