Announcing SPORE 2.0, The Errata Installment

Available for $9 post-paid.

The first run of fifty copies was printed wrong. (Because I can't afford to pay for 300 copies up front, I do 5-6 runs of 50 copies each over time.) The opening piece moved up a page, cutting out one of two blank pages following the “table of intent,” which will be stamped “clear your mind” and “clean your eyes.” Every other piece subsequently was moved up one page. So the pieces I paired to face/play off each other are currently back to back. I've made sure the printer understood what I want (the master was clearly numbered), so the next 50 should be right. I'm going to call this the errata installment, offering it for $9 post-paid. I won’t send out contributor's copies until I have the corrected printing in the next week or so.

What I hope you can’t wait to see: Bob Grumman, full-color centerfold. He may not make the Playboy mansion, but that luscious four-page color xerox spread of arithmepoetic poems smackdab in the center is worth the price of admission (of submission?) alone.
