Kind of surprised myself, but I would definitely give this a read…
Pigeons - Sky Rat or Useful Bird?
According to signs displayed in various cities around the UK, the fine for feeding pigeons is £2500. After researching into this, I learned that this fine is more than for possesion of crack cocaine or assaulting a police officer. This prompted me to start a diary, recording observations of peoples attitudes towards pigeons. The colour of the book is in red due to the starting point of of my interest being a red ‘DO NOT FEED’ sign. I wanted to remain unbias and neutral throughout my observations so the typeface used was Helvetica. The spine has remined exposed due to the nature of the book.

Thinking with Type by Ellen Lupton, 2nd edition
Love this book, explains all the basics of typography in three sections: letter, text, grid. Couldn’t put it down (that’s not sarcastic.) Buy it.

Mrs. Eaves is a charming serif font with beautiful proportions, perfectly round body, and a small x-height, resulting in tall ascenders and descenders. Several years later, Mr. Eaves was created as a sans serif companion font.
I want them.
