Pentagram offers this years holiday book, A Number of Numbers.
Each year Pentagram issues a small holiday book as a greeting to its friends, clients and colleagues. The partners take turns researching and designing these books, which usually contain some kind of game or activity. This year’s book, A Number of Numbers, has been designed by Michael Gericke and his team. Numbers are an especially timely subject, given their importance in recent world events and for the ways they connect us now more than ever. The book features seven numerical systems, from simple tallying to the Burmese system, seen above.
The book’s content has been put online. Go to the A Number of Numbers minisite.

Simon Rich: A conversation between the people who hid in my closet every night when I was seven
The following excerpt from Simon Rich’s Free-Range Chickens made me smile.
A conversation between the people who hid in my closet every night when I was seven:

murderer from the six o’clock news: How about right now?
dead uncle whose body i saw at an open casket funeral: I say we do it when he gets up to pee. You know, when he’s walking down the hallway, in the dark.
