VIRALITY

A copy of this book arrived yesterday. It has been a very long process indeed. It’s also an expensive hardback – for libraries – for now. Slightly less on Amazon at the moment ☹. The electronic version is cheaper and hopefully a paperback is on its way.

It is brilliantly edited by Tomoko Tamari, and includes articles by some interesting folk…
