It was a clothing-optional pub? What's with the naked ladies?

Page 5 - That's the dude I got the goat from.
Half a goat will set you back about £70. I did take the prime cuts though - 2 shoulders, two legs, chops.
I suppose the goat would argue that that's like 2/3.

It all looks very nice and everything, but I've seen so much of this kind of thing. Most of their work leaves me cold.
It's always well produced and there's never technically anything wrong with it, I just sometimes wonder with this kind of thing, 'what's the point?'

Well if you look at it as just a 'design' book, then it's going to be cold.
I look at it as a documentation of a place I know well - so for that reason alone I'll buy it.

That's fair enough moth. I don't know the pub so I can only see it as a 'design' book.
It was more a comment on brown's work. They seem to do a lot of this type of thing, that and jonathan ellery's 'personal projects'Here's a sample from their folio that all seem a bit samey:

phew
I thought you were talking about the wonderful
Wheatsheaf Tavern in Torontoas you were

I kind of agree. I never buy design books because the subject always seems secondary.
Post one you like as an example and I might agree more!
