About the book

Describing himself as a visual jackdaw, designer Alan Fletcher has spent a lifetime collecting images, useless information, quotations and scraps that take his fancy. This work distils this collection into a quirky and entertaining feast for the eyes and the mind. Loosely arranged in 72 chapters, the book explores the workings of the eye, the hand and the brain.
