And he says he turns to the customer, he says, Oh life, I'm so glad I got in.

I just love that.

The idea that it's like a an amazing show at a theatre and you manage to get a ticket to see it.

I appreciate that kind of gratitude.

Okay, so this was a very hard question.

Three is not very many books, and I thought quite hard about them.

So one of the books, it's called Printing and the Mind of Man.

It was the catalogue really of an exhibition that was at the British Museum in nineteen sixty three, and it was about the history of printing.

But actually the book is about the

most important books in the Western canon and the impact that they had when they were released starts with the Gutenberg Bible.

But it's such a fascinating book because you really start to understand where the big fundamental ideas that made Western culture.

It doesn't have any Arabic books or any Indian books or any Chinese books.

So it's it's really about the last five hundred years in Western culture.

And it's probably the most fascinating book about intellectual history that that I've ever read.

And it's a very beautiful book because it was put together by a great printer who used lots of beautiful types and so on.

It's a wonderful book.

So the second book

I think I'm going to suggest is a book by the architect Christopher Alexander called A Pattern Language.

And it's really a book about habitat, about what makes spaces welcoming and fruitful, or hostile and barren.

And it's the most beautiful book.
