Quote from author’s website: “What’s happened recently then?.... 'The Damp Research Team' have studiously tackled the issues that we all think about - such as do you waste more time on Facebook or Twitter, and what’s the point of it all when your closest friends are only ‘virtual’ and can’t even buy you a beer and crisps? In the current economic climate all the Damp Staff have been promptly sacked and the company has been sold to 'foreigners'. They’ve hired some child labour to do the work at a fraction of the price, which means it’s much better this time around since the kids are better at drawing. We’ve kept all our middle-managers though, since they are better at designing nice colourful forms in Excel. So, it seems the world is REALLY going-down-the-pan as we speak, but at least your hair will look pretty and the Botox will smooth over your anxious brow as you glance with alarm into oblivion. Time for a cuppa-T love?”Link to Author's website: FutureFantasteek.com

Quote from author’s website: “Once again, the Damp Flat Research team share their fantastic inventions, ideas and advice. The evil central colour pull-out has a mirror where you can see your evil twin or simply worry more with the new Damp Worry Doll. There are inventions to help you spot a bad idea; pretend to talk like a grown-up or slow yourself down to avoid having to do anything. That and so much more... PLUS are you really being watched?”

Quote from author’s website: “The second outing for the 'Damp Research Laboratory' - once the staff were hastily re-hired. Marvel at the Negativity Negator; find out why "NO" is better than "yes". Ever wondered why everything is always out of order? Let the Entropy-Go-Round inform you. How useful is Vitamin O? And another 'bang-on' Masked-Cat truism for your delectation..”Link to author's website: www.futurefantasteek.com

“Borbonesa’s third volume is an ongoing collaboration between Borbonesa and the
remaining members of the Belgian art assemblage 'Emitron'. In accordance with the very
specific advisements of Emitron, Borbonesa has been redressing and re-articulating their
works, unseen since the group's official disbandment in 1986. This is achieved through the
coordination of performative lectures, public interventions and retrospective exhibitions, as
well as the production of an irregularly printed periodical entitled 'Emitron - An Occasional
Micropaper'.”
