On the basis that you can usually do anything if you put your mind to it, the first
copies were typed on a home computer on recycled paper and all the pages were hand
folded. The covers were made out of re-used cardboard boxes, kindly supplied by stationers,
out of a 14 flute card, which has more crinkles inside than average and makes it
much stronger than usual. The whole book was drilled using an electric drill and
then bound with jute string. If you wanted to make your own book the same way but
without using a drill, you could probably use a hand punch, and do the pages several
at one time.
This book is 293 pages long and the covers are made out of part-recycled card. They
are still made out of 14 flute card. The person who supplied the boxes to the stationers,
very kindly told us to contact Thompson Packaging Ltd., of Norwich. They cut, scored
and punched the card extremely skilfully and have been really enthusiastic and helpful.
The printers are Abacus Printing Co.Ltd., of London E.C.1. They printed this book,
in Times New Roman font, using vegetable based inks, and the paper is 100% recycled.
Again, they were very helpful, especially when it came to drilling the pages. The
book was originally bound in jute string, but this may be substituted by hemp string.
The book was published by Inside Outsider Publications…who are now at 11, Tiverton
Mansions, 140, Gray’s Inn Road, London WC1X 8AZ.
