Thought I would update the old list (in no particular order)...never did reach no. 10. And I know 6 & 7 are technically technical books on jewellery design, but they're the ones I go back too, my most dog-eared, the ones with post-it notes littering their pages and the ones I look at on my bookshelves and make me happy.

Hope you're well!

They're still books, and all the better if they're well worn, well loved and well used!

That's what I think
