Sorry to highjack the Ark again, but I had to put the record straight on this one. It's on Coral's thread calling for submissions to her new mag. In fact, if you look closely, you'll see the first person who made a PC suggestion on that thread (about the title of the mag) was none other than ..... er, Rog. I guess he thought I hadn't noticed! Heaven forbid that I should sink so low. No, I was merely pointing out that the magazine name might lose you some contributors and readers. Sheesh! That was a close one! Crumbs!

Crumbs! Now, can we give Des his Ark back - please? Only if he'll sing Ark the Erald Angels Sing for us.

There is a second issue of Dark Asylum. I'll try to get a scanned copy of its cover done to place here.

That Butterfly and Bloomers!! cover is very misleading. I wonder how many people picked that up thinking it was a nice gardening/nature/women's magazine?

I do admit Butterfly & Bloomers!! had a lighter touch than most of of the other mags presented here so far. An old-fashioned improving-book or needlepoint sampling, but with things worthy of Vaulters' attention, too, I would recall. I've just posted my own short fiction ( Belated Moments) appearing in that particular B&B!! here: weirdmonger.blogspot.com/2008/02/belated-moments.html

I was wondering what you might have contributed to Butterflies & Bloomers,"An old-fashioned improving-book or needlepoint sampling, but with things worthy of Vaulters' attention, too..." This reminds me of another of your stories which showed an almost Bradburyesque fascination with the small, pleasant things of childhood - that other story now hopelessly lost in the Wheel. Dammit, I will find a way to properly index Des's stories, a bit like the index to the Dolls House reviews; yes, I can be even more of a control freak than Des. No - it's passing, sane again. That was a close thing. But yes, I liked this one. I suspect I'll remember it. Small point. I was wondering about this sentence: "My surprise was generated by the fact that such an article was stacked with the secondhand books, bulging as it was with well-hung stamps." Did you mean "...such a shop" instead of "such an article". I thought you were writing about the stamp album, but that couldn't be "stacked with the secondhand books", could it?
