sick = as in illmase - no British person would buy a design print of their recently voted in PM. Its just wrong.mase
- although, respect like, I suppose. We all followed it like mad over here, I would have voted for Bama. ROW should really get a vote too considering.
mase - I bought that one as well.flickster
- but what are you gonna do with it when it turns out he doesn't do anything he sold you on?liveslow

They're great dancer, the si scott one is gorgeous. Where did you buy them from?
Last design thingy I bought, my wireless router? Does that count?
Or an issue of 'Wire' cos I liked the cover design. Sad, but I can't think of anything else.- http://www.coshuk.co…Jaline
- or here?

alnove - £145 on the first site £40 on the second? Is that second one legit? Seems to be a much nicer site too.ian
- why is it so much cheaper? weird.Jaline
- Cosh is an official reseller listed at Si's site. Anyway, I'm buying the cheaper one. Must be legit.Jaline
- Maybe it's smaller or doesn't come with the certificate of authenticity. But that's still a huge price difference.Jaline
- Maybe, but I don't need a cert for £105. seems like a steal to me.ian
- they are a2, they do come with certificate also they are edition of 100alnove
- e-pill0
the Si Scott fish print is beautiful!!
- Duane0
- Ahhh that is beautiful!OSFA
- I always ponder whether or not I should buy this stuff. But I decide against it since I don't know much about NY.Jaline
- well..I know some stuff but I don't care to have a subway system map. I feel like it has to have some use to me.Jaline
- Were these not going for about $200 a go? I remember QBN linking to it, via a men's magazine or something? Expensive!scribbler
- I don´t like itmoamoa
- It was $299 at CondeNast. Not bad considering the original 1972 map sells for $200+ on ebay.Duane
- And although it's not totally useful, it is a piece of design history that will gain value.Duane
- amazing...********
- I've always loved subway maps :PLillebo
- perfect examples where looks come before function.pr2
