Taschen are evil.

[ginasketch]

Here is why. They are constantly tempting my wallet with gorgeous books that are usually beyond my budget. Occassionally I get lucky and find stuff like the oversized version of the Cabinet of Natural Curiousities for 70% off the original price, but usually, I am left drooling over a book I can't have.

In this case it is Magic, a 600+ page tome

My freind Paul who works in Davenports magic shop said they got a copy in the other day and its huge - but brilliant. Hes thinking of getting one.

Oh yes, I know the pain of Taschen. I've been to one of their real-life shops (in Paris). It hurts so good.

There's one in London. I dare not go in there!
