The Compendium - A second collection of modelling reflections...

Earlier this year, in response to my good friend Chris's magazine 'one' I produced my own. Simply titled Compendium it was a collection of favourite works, distilled from the blog and through my own hand, presented on paper in a tangible, immersive format, the printed page...

I didn't commit to producing a second although I certainly didn't rule it out. The success of that first effort, both for me personally and in terms of kind and warm feedback suggested it probably wouldn't be a one off - and so yes, here we are, talking about the second... still titled Compendium.

There is no theme within its pages, again a collection of favourite material subtly re-worked for paper. What you should find are heartfelt stories and personal reflection, perhaps even a mindful experience as I share thoughts, ideas and learning combined with photographs of my own modelling. A story to a spread, a collection of 38 pieces wrapped up in a perfect bound 28x21cm magazine.

I am only making a limited number - and once the order book is closed this will never be reproduced. I will not offer a PDF version, I will not offer a print on demand option - this is it, your only chance to add the second Compendium to your collection... 

£15 including UK delivery - unlike most things in life there is no inflation over the previous issue. I said I'd print 50, I might do 60, I certainly won't do 100.

So how do get one??

Contact me via the form here on the website, Facebook or the forums. If you have already expressed an interest in one and had a response from me there is no need to follow up, I have your details stored safely already. When it is ready to go to print I will email you an invoice with details of how to make the payment.

The deadline? I am aiming to go to print w/c 21st October. 

This work is a physical manifestation of my love of model railways. I hope that by sharing that with you all, this deeply personal work, it enthuses, encourages and inspires you in your own pursuit of this wonderful hobby. Until next time, more soon...
