About the author
Listful was initially an exploration of the language we use in lists, but came to encompass far more: not only the words we choose but the punctuation and grammar of our lists, the materials we use to make them, the time and even the place we dedicate to them.
This little book examines the place of lists in history, culture and the media,
Listful was initially an exploration of the language we use in lists, but came to encompass far more: not only the words we choose but the punctuation and grammar of our lists, the materials we use to make them, the time and even the place we dedicate to them.
This little book examines the place of lists in history, culture and the media, and - above all - in our daily lives. They are invaluable to almost all of us, offering satisfaction, reassurance and even a regular hit of dopamine
