For me the whole thing was about how to get good poetry read by people who don’t usually read good poetry, create excitement, be cheap to produce and sell; and yet not be some folded A4 paper. There were about 150 or so of each issue – all sold out now. The limited number of copies made was due completely down to the fact that I was getting sores on my fingers from cutting and folding not due to exclusivity so it’s wonderful that Dean Farrow, Chris McCabe et al have archived the editions for anyone who’s not read the poems or seen what the boxes looked like. So far the first 6 are up with the final six to come.
