Maths was never my strong point but the 72hr Flash Sale is still on & my copies have arrived already! Big up to Stefi @modernistestates.bsky.social - another super edition in the Richmond to Ham guide, I still want to build a Span estate. Bring back reissues for housing projects & not just records.

As a fan of architecture I have followed some of the other walking routes by @modernistestates.bsky.social and now that we're getting a local one for Richmond and Ham I'll be getting that one too!

Need a bit of reading time over the weekend with this fabulous new arrival, a comprehensive study of the Barbican Estate by Stefi Orazi @modernistestates.bsky.social.
Having not been for a proper wander round since a geography field trip over 30 years ago, I’m planning a Barbican visit soon too!
