Le Cool Will Change Your Life

April 3rd, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

It’s my birthday today, so I’m allowed a plug. As The Man Losowsky announced yesterday, the five new Le Cool guidebooks are now available for pre-order. Here’s the blurb for the London edition:

Designed by Jeremy Leslie at John Brown, A Weird and Wonderful Guide to London is the gateway to a city of freaks and wonders, of the kind you hear whispered about in dark corners, but were never quite sure existed. Edited by Mat Osman, it takes you by the hand and leads you throughout the city, from New Cross to Mayfair, opening closed doors and revealing secrets that might just change your life.

I worked on that London edition, and one slightly sticky spread for the Amsterdam book. There’s also Lisbon, Madrid, and Barcelona, and my lord are they beautiful. They’re out in May, so pre-order here!
