The Typofiles #47: Jackie Oh!
I must have originally posted this book on my blog nearly two years ago but it’s still one of my favorites. I found this at a thrift store for a dollar and never even attempted to read it. How could the story lurking inside be as good as the cover anyway? You can view all of The Typofiles on Flickr here.

I LOVE Jackie. She’s Our Leader. I am her number one fan in Australia. I have read this book- it’s the least accurate of all the biographies and contains a few errors. Her half brother Jamie cooperated with Kitty and Jackie never spoke to him again. On my bloggy I have devoted quite a few posts to Jackie, Our Leader. Love your blog!

Pink + red = YEAH! One of my favorite color combos.
I hate it when people say, “oh, you can’t wear pink and red at the same time!” Oh reeeeeally? Because I think it looks awesome, and it’s woefully underutilized. So there.

I always look forward to your typography posts – you always manage to find something I haven’t seen before.
You might be interested in this article (if you haven’t already seen) by fellow graphic designer Queen Michelle about why designers are more than a person with a software package and deserve to be valued for their work.
