‘I always read the end before the start.’
Do you? And if so, how do you prepare for what lies ahead? Here’s a survival manual of promises to the future, visual and textual – cutouts and collages, aphorisms and notes to self, both happened upon and lastingly felt.

Handbook 09, This Thing of Beauty by Adam Bridgland, presents art and words under pressure, unfettered and uninhibited – visuals, texts, ideas and emotions let loose.
Adam Bridgland is an artist and printmaker known for witty, nostalgic works blending typography and graphic art. A Royal College of Art graduate, he exhibits internationally and features in major collections including the British Museum and V&A.
This Thing of Beauty is published in an edition limited to 25 copies, and priced at £15. Email us to purchase your copy.
