Digital imaging techniques perhaps? For example Phaidon do a photography book with 150 pictures for £10.Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07642126053527835870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195907108786172736.post-36726962542149396712007-08-24T23:36:00.000+02:002007-08-24T23:36:00.000+02:00This is definitely a life force of sound, sense an...This is definitely a life force of sound, sense and vision.

If you have some page layout software and skills, you could make it up and print a few copies with a good home printer or a service provider. If you like it, then you might consider something like Lulu to print it and sell on demand. Or get a publisher. I'd love to hold it in my hands!<BR/><BR/>Joe, I think the new deeper meanings that emerge are<BR/>what makes Handbook so powerful, a work of art! So, is this the end? I don't know if there's ever an end to this kind of exploration!

I remember when I wrote that, that I wasn't at all certain how many poems there would be in the series. It was more a reflection on travelling and destinations in general. Likewise with the mirrors. Maybe it was all going on in my subconcious. Thank you to everybody for the interest and especially to Lucy for her glorious photographs, which add so much and extend the context so dramatically with fresh images.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195907108786172736.post-31489696014901941932007-08-18T07:32:00.000+02:002007-08-18T07:32:00.000+02:00Marja-Leena - you were quick in there, we hadn't e...Marja-Leena - you were quick in there, we hadn't even put the signs up on the other blogs! I would like to see it as a book, to see the poems in their proper order, to be able to pick it up, handle it, dip into it etc but I'm not sure how feasible it would be; I wish that machine existed and was available to all where you can just feed in the text and image information and, presto! out pops a book, or as many books as you want.<BR/>Robin - I feel quite chastened because, you know, I hadn't noticed the 'half-way there' reference was just at the midway point! The mirror too reflects both ways, too halves... He's a clever so-and-so! <BR/>Thanks for coming.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195907108786172736.post-85104155365379859982007-08-18T01:45:00.000+02:002007-08-18T01:45:00.000+02:00Wonderful works, Joe and Lucy!
