My landmark visit.

What better way to spend a Diwali morning that to make a trip to Landmark? (the new one at Chennai is beautiful i must say, quite useless for graphic novels though).
Trips like this make me hope that one day i'll earn enough to buy ALL those books that I set my eyes on. But for now, I'll content myself with just browsing through them in the shop itself.

A few books that caught my fancy.

Making and Breaking the Grid
by Timothy Samara



Comics, Comix and Graphic novels
A history of comic art
by Roger Sabin



Marks of Excellence
by Per Mollerup


Area
by editors of Phaidon

And a book on illustration, which I'm unable to find on Amazon.com, which btw, gives cool previews of some of the pages, do try having a look!
