Notes
- Another attempt to do colour printing for the cover, this time using colour stickers; the front and back covers had small images tipped-in by hand.
- The phrase ‘Pens and Pencils of the UK’ was invented by EP as a kind of unofficial slogan of the small press scene. It never caught on!
- First appearance by Lynch.
