Sanctuary: Britain's Artists and Their Studios is a marvellous book but weighs an absolute ton. It took everything I had to get it from the shelf in Chelsea College of Art library to the table - there's no way I'm going to attempt to bring that sucker home with me. But it's also enormous and I want to read all of it, which would probably take about 16 trips to the library to achieve. Available on Amazon (cheaper from their 3rd party sellers).
I'm still interested in reading Catherine Malabou's Changing Difference: The Feminine and the Question of Philosophy.
Also Tim Rutherford-Johnson's Music After the Fall: Modern Composition and Culture since 1989
and Tim Ingold's Redrawing Anthropology: Materials, Movements, Lines
As always, cash or gift vouchers would be useful. Australian dollars are good for stashing away, ready for the next visit (hopefully late September 2018... fingers crossed the Financial Gods agree to this plan!). Things that cash might be used towards that aren't easily provided in any other form (in case you wanted to specify a cause!) are: fix CD player, fix record player (I'm suspecting this one's going to need A Little Man but I should probably tinker more first), fabric for clothes, a new jumper/cardigan as I'm down to only one now that's both warm and wearable. Gift vouchers from Amazon, Cass Art (to use these in an actual shop, you need to go to an actual shop - the ones for sale online can only be used online, which would be less useful) or plain old National Book Tokens would all be useful.
DVD of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
The Papercut Patterns Rigel Bomber jacket sewing pattern, has been on my list for a while now - I've been thinking of it for (a) the sage green mostly-wool I have lurking and (b) that gorgeous fox flannel the mother bought me. However, it's been a bit out of my reach. It's available as a paper pattern (ships from New Zealand, but free shipping, although likely to take a little while so I'd get on this fast if you're thinking of this as an option) or as a downloadable PDF - and they also do gift vouchers (although for some reason not in values that reflect their actual pricing. huh??).
Recurring post-lottery-win requests:
New iPad
Focusrite 2i2 audio interface so I can return Stuart's which he loaned me about 4 years ago now
Zoom h4n audio recorder because my Tascam one has been a sorry disappointment in terms of audio quality
A wide-angle lens for my DSLR camera would be incredibly helpful for my work. Something like this Canon EF-S 10-18mm, although there are other options for the Canon 600D.
