Put your hands up if you remember Alan the Copywriter, one time inhabitant of these shores.
I thought so.
Well, it turns out that he also remembers you. Yes, that includes you slouching at the back. Pay attention there.
Anyway, Alan did not a few posts on this here blog about some of the rather cool designs coming out of Penguin Press last year. One of the highlights was an innovative interview he did with designer and damn good egg Coralie Bickford-Smith. This made a lot of people very envious. Of Coralie; of Alan; of smart and sexy people having smart and sexy fun.
What do you mean: don't remember, sir? Got eyes, haven't you? Then why don't you refresh your memory by taking a good look at this.
Where was I?
Oh yes. Alan. He's not been quiet in his absence. He has his own blog now - smartysexypants that he is, he appears to have set it up all by himself. It's very cool and called Greater Than Or Equal To. And to prove that he still has his fingers on the publishing pulse he's just done a new interview with Coralie about her wonderful new designs for some new Penguin hardback classics.
New, you hear. It's all brand, spanking new.
So why not get over there and see what Alan and Coralie have got to say to each other. Poke around. Go through Alan's drawers. Criticise his choice of wallpaper. Get the keys to his liquor cabinet and go get good and drunk.
Smart and sexy don't even begin to describe the fun you'll have.
