I borrowed some books—like a good dissertation writing student

I went to my library to forage out paper structures known as books. Though their format scares me due to not being digital, I will trust that these items of witchcraft could help me with my essay.

After a bit of digging around I had found a few books that I would both like to read for my dissertation, and we sitting on the shelves of the universities library. So I got myself two books to start with until I find some more suitable ones.

Being fashioned as a hat by our model is the lovely and extremely sexy:
Robert Brownjohn – Sex and Typography (ISBN 1-56898 550-9)
Princeton Architectural Press

Though not strictly relevant, this book is of a designer (a rather influential one at that) operating with great modernity in America through periods of time including the 1950's. 


Next up in that traditional 'I'm holding something design-ish to cover my horrid face' pose is an actual book about American Modernism; looking as american as an book possibly could.
R. Roger Remington – American Modernism, Graphic Deisgn 1920 to 1960
(ISBN 1-85669-345-7) Laurence King Publishing Ltd


There isn't much more I can tell you about this book that the title doesn't already. But my god, my are my arms so freakishly large?
