Almanac ✦ 21

The Six Pips Almanac is a collectible annual, published in-house by Undercurrents Publishing, which is basically Schofield. The brief was that it should be classy but not pretentious. It is to be a beautiful thing in its own right. A good book.
Casebound with top and tail bands, a ribbon, cloth covers and heavy paper, foiled and debossed, made by those with a Royal Warrant no less.
Not merely a cut and paste job, no sir! This is curated from all the best Pips of 2021. Hence Almanac 21 (A-21). Those short, sharp, buy this thing now type Pips have been omitted leaving the poems, the prose, the excitement and the beauty – the very best that Schofield offers.
Layout wise, chronological but with new content, lots of graphic design, werewolf tears, predominately red images on the left and green on the right. Port and Starboard, Strange Lights and plenty of obscurity. If you like the Pips, you will like the Almanac!

On a personal note, there are some things that just have to be done. No question. The Six Pips is an effort, easier when there is news, harder keeping the enthusiasm up when times are tough. Sometimes impossible. Nearly every Thursday for the last 10 years of my life has ben devoted to the Pips! So I made it into a book because I really wanted to!

Don’t be put off that it is last year’s, the content is still very much relevant. It was not that long ago. Now the issue is we need to sell them. We do. Because if we can cover the costs then it means there will be A-22! Then maybe an archive edition. Yes! A collection! All the same size, similar and familiar in format. That’s the plan.

The book itself is proper fancy, how could it not be? I love books and fancy bindings. Send me a Folio Society and I will beam with delight! The Almanac is casebound with top and tail bands, ribbon, tactile paper,  full colour, foiled and debossed. It’s an inch thick, A4 size, cloth covered treasure!

Layout wise, chronological but with new content, lots of graphic design, werewolf tears, predominately red images on the left and green on the right. Port and Starboard, Strange Lights and plenty of obscurity. If you like the Pips, you will like the Almanac, if you don’t I will eat my hat and shorts.
