Book, Interrupted


This week's bookmagazinebook posting will be a little late, as I seem to have misplaced my camera. Rest assured that it is a lovely soft-covered number in pastel pink and green with nice stitched borders and a sparkly silver ribbon divider.

But while we're here, let's take pause to consider this whole thing.

A few questions that have occurred to me in recent weeks:

Firstly, and most obviously, where are all the bookmagazines? I followed Issue/Edition 1 for about 7 or 8 people, but I don't know where it is now. I haven't heard a peep from any subsequent books. Which I kind of like, while being equally concerned by.

How does each person's contribution affect those afterwards? Are people responding to what they already find, whether consciously or not?

Are people writing sequentially, for instance, beginning on page one and moving forward from there? Or are people working against what they find, trying hard not to repeat?

How is the momentum different for each bookmag?

And such things.

But mostly: where are all the bookmagazines?
