Quick reply -- the Brown Book is GREAT, in just that it exists. I think it has some flaws, strange decisions on repro sizes, some images starting off on one right hand page and continuing on the next page... idiotic, and just weird. But the book is packed with filth -- heavy focus on the later years of Martin, not as much 70's material as hoped for... moan... The essays are all in English -- one of them written by REX -- all worth reading. The flaws that I see are perhaps mostly reflecting my personal aesthetics, so why would that deter you from buying the book? This is exactly the kind of publishing endeavour that I respect -- material that needs exposure, no fundraiser, no print on demand crap... so yeah, I STRONGLY encourage anyone interested to buy a copy of the book. Bound to be a modern classic... The publisher have hinted that there is possibility for a Bastille book in the future, which would of course be most welcome.
