Increasingly I get sent loads of utter rubbish in the post. This stuff is intended to get me so excited that I'll blog about it and then all my 200,000 daily listeners will rush out and buy said stuff.
This almost never happens.
I don't want to sound ungrateful. It's very kind of people to send me things, it's just that most of it is badly targeted, shamelessly promotional, uninteresting and a bit crap.
The other day I got some books from the people at Princeton Architectural Press. The catalogue was lovely and one book in particular stood out. Revolving Architecture: A History of Buildings That Rotate, Swivel, and Pivot. I don't know about you but I simply can't resist a good revolving restaurant! I've been to revolving restaurants in New York, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Suffolk and London (the one that isn't the BT Tower, can you guess where it is?).
Anyway you can buy this excellent publication here.
From now on when people ask me my favourite type of restaurant I'm going to say, revolving.
I'm liking the sound of that book.
Haven't read any good architecture stuff in a while...

Where's the other London revolveraunt? Or do you just like to eat a packed lunch on the Eye and pretend your at a restaurant?

By "your" I obviously mean "you're". Silly me.
