A lovely lunch catching up with a friend at the British Library, talking maps, publishing and travelling. A few of my favourite things.

And while I was waiting in the foyer for him, I spotted this nice piece of art*. It’s wood, type and positive - more of my favourite things!

• Joe Tilson’s ‘Page 1, “Penelope” ‘, inspired from James Joyce’s Ulysses, which closes with Molly Bloom repeatedly saying the word ‘yes’.
