Monocle + Alain de Botton

I’m a huge fan of Alain de Botton, and have been since I read On Love many years ago. (He also started The School of Life, which I posted about earlier this week.) This summer I’m planning to read his latest, The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work. I think I might have to buy the edition available from Monocle: linen-bound, with a dvd interview. (Isn’t it pretty?)

If I were in LA, I’d be heading over to the Monocle shop at the Brentwood Country Mart as Alain de Botton will be there today, signing copies from 12:30-2:00. Sigh.
