Didn’t get a copy? Here’s what went into the paper.
(Sorry for reblogging myself, but I want to make sure these people get the credit they deserve.)
On the night of the launch, we had a big list of people that we needed to thank. Sponsors, supporters, printers, volunteers, the venue…
Of course, in the buzz of the evening, I forgot the really important people –- the contributors who were kind enough to allow us to publish (or as someone said today ‘reverse-publish’) their original works.
So I want to do so now. The people listed below (mostly from Australia, but also a few from abroad) all generously gave us permission to take their material and reprint it in our publication. Thanks so much. Without your work there would literally be nothing for us to have printed.
Andrew Ramadge, Reflections on the Tote
Misho Baranovic, Misho Baranovic Photography
Merlin Mann, Better
Luke Ryan, It’s all going pear-shaped, K-Dogg
David Thorne, Please design a logo for me. With Pie Charts. For Free.
Michele Catalano, The Lost Art of Making A Mixtape
Jerome Lebel-Jones & Guy Lavoipierre, Know your product
Eric Fischer, Locals and Tourists (Melbourne)
Tait Ischia, Steve Anderson and the Meth Lab
Adam Lisagor, Rudiments (The Shoelace Bit From Put This On Ep 2)

Paul Verhoeven, Lessons For Children
I also would like to thank two additional people who gave very generously of their time to this project. Firstly to Ruth Palmer, who came in on nights and weekends even when she was ill to give the project the benefit of her amazing design talents. Ruth, we’re all in your debt. And secondly (but not least-ly) to Finn Bradshaw, who gave his time to proof-read, check for consistency, and make sure we hadn’t introduced our own errors into anyone else’s work.
Thanks again. You’re magnificent.
Ross.
PS: If you pre-ordered a copy, it’s in the mail!
As Ross said, it would not be in print if it were not for these people.
