""T-HE point is-how do you eat and read simultaneously? The question crops up daily, from breakfast when you’re looking out of bleared eyes for a tall, solid object that will take the :ineasy starchiness of the newspaper, unti! late suppertime when ‘you're sunk, all elbows and swinging coat-skirts, deep in the. yawn of an armchair with the mild suburban equivalent of cakes and ale perched about, just willing you towards that hasty movement which broadcasts everything to the skirting board. It seems to me a whole Chinese puzzle of a problem which has not yet sufficiently engaged the attention of those clever people whose energies, on a 24-hour basis, are directed to design for what they call ‘gracious living.’ ""--J. Walshe, in an NZBS Book Shop talk.
