Hi all- anyone happen to know anything about a book that the Designers Republic have put out? I heard about it but the name slipped my mind and so now I can't order it. Also do they have a web page? Excellent stuff those guys do... thanx, robert feugate rfeugate@hawaii.edu / grizzla@lava.net

Was looking for this myself, but to no avail... There is, however, an issue of emigre typograohy magazine, for which they designed the entire thing. I've seen it and it's really really cool... large format too! Unfortunatly it's a collectors item, so it's $50 us, though I have considered it... Checkout www.emigre.com not sure which issue it is though... They've also got an issue that Vaughn Oliver from v23/4ad designed. Speaking of which, the 4AD site mentioned a v23 book that was coming out, anyone know anything of this, or anyother cool typography books??? q out ------------------------------------------------------------ Music is prophecy: its styles and economic organisation are ahead of the rest of society because it explores, much faster than material reality can, the entire range of possibilities in a given code.

I stelthfully swipped this issue from my yuppie bosses mail box when it came out. She gave me all the old issues after she got done with them, but The DR issue was way to good to leave to chance her not letting go of it! I promptly cut the whole damn thing up and made two great collages from the pieces. I wet out later that week to find another copy of it on the news-stands but had no luck...I now wish I had an intact copy, but it sure was fun cutting out all those little people and album covers! It's funny how many people try to bite the DR style, but never quite pull it off! oh well, Long Live the Designers Republic! peace out, brock np: kraftwelt: 'deranged in space'

i was just listening to inacunabula by autechre and i noticed a bunch of little writing on the inside of the insert. some of it says "gescom: pleasure is our business"," autechre","(inacunabula)", "part 1" and some other stuff, but i was wondering if anyone knows what the 'part 1' means, if anything. I also looked through some of my other designers republic cases and i found that surfing on sine waves has some small writing in it as well, but it was just the name of the band and such. kyle
