Did it come with <I>Scripsi</I> like Gig's <I>Last Interior</I>? I bought a lot of my <I>Scripsi</I> issues secondhand, as I was a penniless student when it started. Michael, by the way, was my first year tutor, I think the subject was 20th-century poetry.David Lumsdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04483172967435196277noreply@blogger.com
