"ODYSSEUS" The Ward Porter - hand-bound limited edition with woodcut

A new BILLY CHILDISH novella printed on bible paper.

The novella is based on the author's true life experiences as a porter in a county asylum in the late 1970's.

Since August 2015 thousands copies of Childish's new novella The Ward Porter
have been distributed for free in major cities around the world without a clue to their origin
or true author.

From Chatham to Cyprus, from Berlin to Bangkok, from London to LA, Childish
representatives have inserted rogue copies in the fiction section of unsuspecting bookshops, left them in cafes and phone boxes, on trains and on the tops of bins in the street. It is hoped that at least several copies will have found safe homes, though we realise that most will have been trashed without a thought.

Photographs of some placements can be seen on Instagram @TheWardPorter and at http://thewardporter.tumblr.com

Some 'finders' may be intrigued to learn of the The Ward Porters origin and others, who
never happened across a copy may be sad to have missed out.

To remedy this and help finance the folly of free books 75 copies of the 'Free Edition' have been specially bound in boards for L-13 with an original woodcut by the author laid in.

This "Library Edition" is hand bound in buckram covered board with the original
pictorial covers laid in, has an Oakwood Hospital Library lending slip tipped in on the
front endpaper and a 2 colour woodcut is bound in as a frontispiece.

Each copy signed and numbered by the author/artist.

OWEN DAVID POWELL Snapshots from the Boer War: An Infantry Telegraphist's Photo Album & Story - signed hardback edition

Limited edition of 70. Signed and numbered by the author and Billy Childish.

With a foreword and frontispiece by Billy Childish.

Originally published as an e-book to bring to a light a collection of photographs taken by the author's great grandfather during the Boer War.

On seeing the e-book by his friend, Billy Childish was immediately struck by the simple and evocative beauty of the photographs. He made several large-scale paintings from selected snapshots, thus covering the costs and providing a fine excuse for a proper publication of the pictures found here.

You'll have to read the book!), and a 0p 'Do not pay for this book' rubber stamp. On the back is a small mermaid and the legend 'NO ISBN, NO BARCODE, NO AUTHOR', Copies of this book were sneaked onto the shelves of bookshops around the world in a daring campaign to see if putting free books in bookshops was as bad as steeling them.

This edition is not free but you do get a fine hand bound hardback binding by Tangerine Press in library buckram with the original covers laid in. It also comes with an embroidered Luftwaffe badge that can be used as a bookmark. Why? ... You'll have to read the book!
