I wanted to order this in the summer, but was in Greece, and then never got around to it when I returned to Montreal. This afternoon I was waiting for Keight in McNally Jackson and my umbrella had just blown out and I was feeling that vague uneasiness you get when you’ve spent more money than you should’ve on American brands you can’t get in Canada, and then I spotted this book and when I realized I could buy it - without shipping! - I plunked down my credit card and felt good about my purchases, including all those stupid heat tech garments from Uniqlo. And then Keight arrived and I had a scone and coffee while the rest of NYC swayed in high winds.
