Roaming Around Kent

Today was a free journey around Kent via the rail network and a walk to Sittingbourne. I was going to sell some books but after a visit to the Citizens Advice Bureau in Sittingbourne i ended up in Rainham and found four LP's for fifty pence each.










So a bit of a punt on them. Nothing over a fiver so no great earthshaking sales. At least i sold four LP's to a guy in Italy today and posted a cheque from the company i did the video mystery shop for.

Book 24 - John Chase "Glitter Stucco and Dumpster Diving"

John Chase "Glitter Stucco and Dumpster Diving : Reflections on Building Production in The Vernacular City" (Verso)





The author has perfectly captured LA. It is more of an homage to the city in which most of this book is him waxing poetically about colorful neighbours, trash, and homeless living near his home. It is not a straight architectural book and in fact was commended in the Pen/Architectural Digest Award for Literary Writing On The Visual Arts in 2001.

A must for anyone wanting an inside look at the true nature of Los Angeles by  someone who knows the language.
