This is an official communication from HumanWrites, Booksellers and Publishers
(Est. 1988), literary wing of the P'u Cabal, associate members of the Federation
of Radical Booksellers and the Small Press Group of Great Britain.
We have at last obtained the financial backing required to open a bookshop in
Cambridge, England (ie. I sold my house) and are starting to purchase stock. We
intend to stock 'anything weird', divided approx. 50/50 between mainstream and
small press (inde publishers) stuff. For example, our first project is to stock
copies of every book name-checked in Illuminatus! and associated Wilson books.
If anyone has any constructive suggestions for books, periodicals or other more
esoteric publications (eg. Shredded Slime!) we should stock, please let me know
(including if possible the publisher and ISBN, plus address of publisher or
distributor if non-mainstream).
If any of you out there have delusions of literary competancy and are interested
in having your work published (in very small runs!) in the UK, drop me a note.
We can handle most desktop publishing requirements.
The shop premises we are negotiating for are smack in the middle of Cambridge, 2
minutes walk from all the old colleges (Christs, Kings, Downing, Jesus, Trinity
etc etc). Just think of all those impressionable young minds, destined to go on
to great things, who will be innocently browsing the shelves, blissfully unaware
that they have stumbled into a Hotbed of International Conspiracy. You, yes
you, could have a say in what these future Captains of Industry, Heads of
Government and Russian Spies see on those shelves. You too can have a hand in
subverting the destinies of these people.
Act Now!
Serve Hot For Extra Crispiness!
-- Hugh, for the P'u Cabal.
PS. Does 'Never Whistle While You're Pissing' actually exist?
