Without any prompting or encouragement, someone has re-covered the Patrick Süskind Penguin paperback with a much more modern treatment, and sent it to me in the post. Using my photo of a pigeon on top of the Empire State Building has really given that tired old Jan Tschichold grid some pep. Thanks. I can't wait to see what you have in mind for Ionescu's Rhinoceros .

They have lots of pigeons in Paris too I suppose.
