For the first half of September we’ll be in Berlin as part of the Illustrative 07 art fair. I’ll be doing a lecture there that I’ll be repeating here in a little while. The lecture will be about us, but I’ll be talking about Danielson and Eric Gill mostly. We don’t know what to expect,

We strongly recommend you buy the latest issue of the Shytstem; Issue 3. We are in it, but that’s not the reason. We think it is really fantastic.

I’ll be able to hone loads of skills there and it

We had a great day out yesterday on the Virgoes annual punting trip between Trinity college and Grantchester (where the university grants are made). Punting is a wonderful activity, almost entirely inefficient and designed so that gentlemen can get women in gossamer skirts in vulnerable balancing situations. Alex Bunn lent us his gramaphone, which made

Our next release which we are working on at the moment is going to be by our friend Michael Jones. This is the first time we’ve invited somebody to make a solo work at the Press, and we’re making it up as we go along, but it all seems to be going well. It is
