Mr Baxter's Best. 2009. The Buyers' Booth.
Part 6: The Buyers’ Booth
It’s Christmas Eve. For some reason I am in the office, in my best suit. It’s partly because the wife is shaving and I don’t want to lose my appetite for tomorrow, and it’s partly because I want to see how many of you are still hanging on for surely the Best of the Best ofs. The Buyers’ Booth, yes it’s my little weekly window into what you actually look like next …
Mr Baxter's Best. 2009. The Illustration.
Part 5: The Illustration
I can’t draw. Or paint. To be quite honest walking is a bit of a mission, and getting dressed is something I need to allow at least half a day for.

Mr Baxter's Best. 2009. The T-Shirt.
Part 1: The T-Shirt
It’s the end of the year, a time when most magazines and TV shows are compiling rehashed versions of last year’s ‘Best of…’ lists because they are tired and lazy and want to knock off early and drink eggnog or white spirit or something. It’s easy editorial.
