Sorry, I'm not trying to be mean, but it looks and feels like a low-quality production which is not a reflection of the content.

Nah, it's fine. I dunno much about publishing and it seemed better than I'd expected for something self-published. It does have the texture of how I'd expect a graphic novel or something to feel, mind you. That weird cover material and the floppiness of the pages.

this is all true but that is becasue he published with hippy losers. i bet any money Gus prints books that look the bollocks.

i self publish. i really enjoy it. it makes a difference, having a physical object in the world. this is why music doesnt exist any more becasue there is no object in the world

 

[luka]

the decisions are all in your hands from paper quality to font to cover design

good point, luka. if an artist releases a digital album for streaming, bandcamp and iTunes, it "exists", but not really.

Pure abstraction.

i;d rather see you doing editions than laser-print on demand things

 

[luka]

what are editions?

 

[woops]

runs of 50 or however many

id like to be able to offer a selection tbh no one reads or wants this shit anyway

that's why it's great to have 50 copies to foist onto the unsuspecting

Publish with gus god dammit

 

[linebaugh]

Been saying this ever since I left the ranch. If no one here publishes with gus Im going to lose it.

I dont know why you wouldnt want your writing in a nice tastefull physical package for practically free but maybe this is why Im not a writer

 

[linebaugh]

Id even read the collected gucci mane essays from corpseys time at the wire if it was physical.

when i met gus in london i sneakily submitted a couple of sample poems in the guise of a gift

@suspended also very dutifully read a load of my writing right in front of me

 

[luka]

he said im not up to scratch yet but he was kind enough to offer to read anything new i write

someone who has got a wire sub (@Leo ?) should sort this out for the lads
