'Personal bibliography'

Paul Rand spoke of the concept of having a 'personal bibliography' - ie the books that one would cite, recommend, return to, and are affected by - bibliography as biography, this would be an effective way of creating an second draft of my personal statement.



"If i used to admire somebody, I would write the guy and ask him to give me some advice. I would always ask "What kind of books do you read?" I always did it when i was a kid." - Paul Rand
