I recall a very interesting anthology, I think it must have come out after
Children of Albion, again it was not from a commercial press, but it was
from (I think) a Liverpool press, might have been Toulouse. It was an A4
size with orange covers, stappled. Does anyone have a clue what it was, I
have been trying to track it down for years. Jim Burns had some pieces in
it, and were some other very interesting non traditional forms.
