Even if you aren't able to commit to all 12 books, but want to partake in the discussion, please come over and chat; the more the merrier. The books are: The Book of the New Sun ...

It wouldn’t have to be some who does design work, but in my opinion, designers are often overlooked in the work that they do, and being able to feature someone and prominently display who they are would be very cool. ...
