One of the best things about having a blog all of your very own is that if you want to show-off: you can. You may remember my mentioning a while ago the pleasant surprise I had on buying a set of all four Avant Garde 1970s speculative fiction paperback reviews, Quark/, that they were in nearly unread condition. So with two hours and a pile of board, glue, book cloth, marbled paper and a bundle of sharp implements, I've made this double slipcase for them, of which I am inordinately proud.
