Seems like a load of pretentious bollocks, art for art's sake.

Describing them as 'masterminds' is pushing it a bit, tho' I can appreciate to a degree what they are doing. Shrouding it in bollocks doesn't help.

I read every word of this without having any idea what they were talking about.

So how did you feel afterwards, what ideas were seeded?

So they're taking obscure texts, printing runs of 69 copies and destroying the rest.

As a very, very small time collector of first editions within the niche of folk horror, I'd love to be able to approve or even understand. But I can't. Idea lost in translation?

Will it have Scarlett Johansson in it?

Sorry to derail the thread but this book-

is great if you like "Nazi kung fu sex bitches with rottweilers".
Sadly, I think Bill Drummond's best days are past.
