The Book of the Erinyes looks like a fantastic project — I’m looking forward to seeing how it all turns out. Wish I had some good advice on reaching target audiences, but I’m still struggling with that one myself.

I was delighted to have some information on papier mache bindings…I have a Book of Common Prayer (Eyre & Spottiswoode, London, 1842) with a papier mache binding in my collection and wondered about its unique binding. Thanks again.

A term you might like is ‘slipstream’, which is already in use to encompass books in particular that aren’t quite one genre or another: sf thrillers, fantasy with a magical realist aspect, that kind of thing.

Comment on Marbled Paper by lesley

Marbling paper is a very satisfactory pastime. We teachers can get kids to do it on the cheap, floating gloss housepaint or oilpaint mixed with white spirit onto water. We use mainly blue, then the child makes an illustration on a separarate sheet, perhaps themselves swimming, then cuts it out and pastes it on top. Looks good! a technique used by Roger Dean in the 70s.
Another way is to float oily colours on water. Use an eye-dropper. Drop soapy water in the middle. The soap destroys the surface tension and immediately a cirular hole appears in the pattern. By carefully adding more oily paint and more soap, a pattern of circles and rings can be made which is cooli-o.

Thanks! It’s actually a bit rough around the edges, but I’m hoping to improve with practice.
