The imprint has now adopted a more variable approach, new titles appearing as and when, both uniform and 'nonuniform'. Edited and published by Colin Sackett since 2011. colinsackett.co.uk / uniformbooks.co.uk
Never seen a summer with so many insects, and pleasingly, many butterflies. We’d occasionally get the odd Hedge Brown some years ago, but almost all day there are several alighting here and there. We’ve a lot of veg and misc. flowers as well as a rough old hedge and they seem to like it all.
First was the triangular catalogue in 1985—and he made the 48 wire pieces one by one in a day-long session at Coracle, and Yoko Terauchi photographed them for the book; several editions after... 'loophole'; 'eight words...', only the letters are left when the newsprint disintegrates :)
I've just looked at our local map in the later survey, annotated by volunteers, just one of so many. The Stamp survey was published county by county (Norfolk shown) and the whole summary 'The Land of Britain: Its Use and Misuse' in several editions, a huge solid thing.
A photograph of Yoko Ono and her Wrapping Event (Trafalgar Square, London, August 1967) in a window for passers by.
A surprise gift arrived today from Simon Cutts in Ballybeg, Tipperary—a 1:32 scale electric fence for 1:32 scale cattle, with warning signs; and a small card sample of printed sky.
Michael Hampton has sent me Brion Gysin's actual knife. INCISIONS—A Micro Anthology by Michael Hampton "a beginner’s guide, and recueil for fans of damaged codexes and distressed paper." uniformbooks.co.uk/uniformpamphlets.php
'England v. Italy' Electric fire and fan wired into a single plug. Forty-five years ago... Les Coleman, 'New Work', Coracle Press Gallery, 233–235 Camberwell New Road, London SE5, 6 June–4 July 1981.
Illus. Stonehenge, named and framed; and all about, the view, its landscape as it were. The miscellany of stones, behind the wire-fence, the flat grey sky and the wooded distance; all neatly titled inside the ruled edge... [cont'd in alt-text] p.186/p.187: colinsackett.co.uk/manifoldonline.php
From 1968 until '78 i lived on the estate next to Sutton Bus Garage, and before that as a very young boy off Stonecot Hill. The number of times i've been on the 213...! Thank you for the photos. My favourite bus is still an RF, and in particular the 80A, between Morden tube and Walton-on-the-Hill.
Great book, also read back then, and i unexpectedly enjoyed his Proust's Way (written 55 years later) during a lull in reading the huge thing, and which got me back into its rhythm. My answer: probably this, when i was 16 or 17.

This not-so-well-photographed but similar one is at Rousdon, on the coast road between Lyme Regis and Axmouth.
I went to every home game for a few years with my Dad, and this is the line-up embedded in my memory. Photo taken at the training ground at Mitcham where us twelve-year-olds would go to beg autographs, and to gawp at their expensive cars.
The new Uniformpamphlets series and Biblioteka Art Book Fair at The Warburg Institute next Friday and Saturday. campaign.emailblaster.cloud/MTQ0ODc/26.html
"...each quotation of the micro anthology, in their own way, function as nodal data points for discursive elaboration, or all together, add up to an unconventional academic paper, surveilling the topic of bibliographic cutting and tearing." uniformbooks.co.uk/uniformpamphlets.php
Thought you'd know. :) These are the twenty-four places/pieces in David Matless's pamphlet.
"...made of words and phrases appearing sequentially in place entries from Nikolaus Pevsner’s 'Buckinghamshire', published in 1960. A few years later, all of these places would fall within the orbit of the new planned city of Milton Keynes." uniformbooks.co.uk/uniformpamphlets.php
