Dear friends

Many thanks to those of you who said that they may be able to send some design books or magazines to me here in Laos. As I told you, there are almost no reference materials available here for young students or those who aspire to be designers. I have started a small library of books and magazines donated by some of my associates in The Design Alliance, but I am always keen to expand it. Therefore, if I may take you up on your kind offers that would be wonderful. The materials do not have to be fully up to date by any means, anything you can spare would be most useful.

Should you be travelling through Bangkok you could leave any books at the following address, or send them by post straight to me here. The Bangkok address is:

Color Party
3rd Floor, Seri Art Gallery
19 Rama 9 Road,
Suanluang, Bangkok 10250

Tel: 300 5124-6.

Contact person is Punlarp Punnotok who is the Director of Color Party (email: color_party@hotmail.com). I go to Bangkok from time to time and can easily pick up anything you leave there.
