you will want one of each - aside from having the same contents, they'll all be very different from one another. after carol's book, i can't really say "this will be the best thing we've ever done" anymore, but i've done a couple mockups, and i'm really excited about them.
Love your writing, but Red Stripe is so fucking bad, I'd rather drink Bud Light straight outta Richard Simmons' bung hole. Can I make that any more clear? Red Stripe is an astringent, not a beer.
mjp, you bring shame upon the Irish for ingesting that tripe. You and I know that this isn't terribly difficult, but fer dog's sake, have a bit 'o' the ole pride damn yer.
Oh yeah. I'll take three of everything.
Well, one or two of something.

that's that 8% proof stuff, isn't it?
i like that guy.

but it comes in a stubby. I miss stubbies. I mean the beer, not mjp.

Red Stripe is a people's lager, so the comparison to Budweiser isn't far off (Bud Light, however, I don't know who drinks that shit). More people in Ireland drink lager than stout (think Harp rather than Guiness, and Guiness is barely stout to my tastes), so you can't pin me down there!
Sometimes a man, or someone like myself, needs a cold lager or five to chug because he is thirsty and wishes for a comfortable haze to descend over his day. If you drink five Guiness or - puke - ales, you'll explode. Or I will, anyway. And that ruins the haze.
Having said that, I've met very few beers that I didn't like and befriend. But at the end of the day I still prefer whiskey. Straight up in the desert, on ice in the city. That's just civilization, there.

ah, it's Jamaican. that's why it seem to go with the spliff.
I'm a stout man, but Guinness is so expensive here on this backward, sorry, I mean Catholic island that I have to stoop to their local brew; a milk based stout called 'Lactating Mary', or something like that. Also, being a hot climate, they seem to fear anything over 4% proof, so I spend more time in the lav than I do with my kid (actually, where did I put my kid? Oh, there she is, under that pile of cigarette butts.)
I have been acquiring funds by mistake (I'm not going to disclose how) so I'll keep an eye out for this; the mjp book that is.

Man, that mjp guy is such an asshole.
But a helluva writer too... I guess I'll take the good with the bad on this one.

well, after the horribly insulting email mjp sent me telling me how shitty these look (if by 'horribly insulting email' you mean 'discussion in which we both agreed'), the decision is to have the man himself do the lettering on the cover... so those ones in the picture will never be seen again by anyone.
happily, though, the adhesive is removable simply by applying heat, so i'm able to salvage & repurpose them. hooray!

if you've got a dog why bark yourself?
not that i'm calling mjp a dog or anything.

Appreciate your friends
Being called a dog is a compliment, if you know what I mean.
The book should be a great success.

I love the Genji bookcloth! I have always wanted to use that, the most beautiful of all bookcloth.

it is pretty amazing - you can't tell from the pictures, but it has a nice sheen that changes color (from more blue to more gold) depending on how light hits it. it ain't cheap, but they started selling it in 1/2-yard increments, so i thought we'd splurge for this most fine book.

Yes, I have a little sample of it here in a swatch book. Gengi is by far the most expensive book cloth that I have seen. Even in half yards, ti is still 8 times more expensive than a good, run-of-the-mill bookcloth.

Seeing those pictures makes it feel like prom night over here!
Not that I ever went to a prom. No one asked me. I still have the dress though. I saved it for the Nobel Prize dinner that will undoubtedly be held in my honor. At some future date.

I'd love to see the book.
And that Genji that you are using on the mjp book, is the priciest of the Genji patterns, If I recall.
Still, that floral plumb is purdy.

bill and justine are both stupid morons who are wrong.
the book i made for justine, while incredibly beautiful, has asahi cloth on it - still made in japan, but not quite as fancy (i think it is rayon and not rayon/cotton like genji). also, this is the cheapest genji pattern (the more expensive ones are pure silk and cost either $43 or $49 per 1/2 yard, whereas this one is $23 per 1/2 yard. for comparison's sake, asahi is around $15 per yard, making the genji around 3x as expensive).
here's the book i made for justine:
it even has a pop-up in it:
