The Book is gonna be designed by unik. It is being designed by unik. Hes sitting right in front of me now. In front of his ancient Acer. Hes using something like the most recent vershun of InDesign (thats a software you luddite softcocks !) he bought at Ratu Plaza. Hes doing revisions for violets book now. Theyre communicating thru Y!M and theyre sitting 50 centimetres apart. What techno-freaks ! The Books design is gonna refer to an old design by a dead artist. Sort of like if you put out a book in England thats got a picture of Penguin at the front. So Im gonna carry a copy each of books that used the dead artists design (same one different colours for a series) and display it at Ubud, at the Readers Dozing Off festival, where Im gonna hold the launch for The Book. Display them next to The Book. Its gonna be a joint launch with violets book. Hers has got a lot empty spaces, The Book is just empty.
