Some comments:

'Your book is a beautiful thing indeed. Thanks for making use of this material.'
--Greg Koos, McLean County Museum of History, Bloomington, IL, who supplied a copy of the manuscript for From the Jungle's Edge.

'Many thanks for sending this marvellous book. Truly a labour of love on your part and the result is little short of a miracle.'
--Ian Seed, poet and editor of shadowtrain.com

'It is so damned good for Wantling to get this well deserved publication. Your books are setting a very high standard.'
--Adrian Manning, poet and editor of Concrete Meat Press, England.

‘This is a superbedition and a fine selection, I have to say. I am glad that you have doneBill’s memory proud.’
--PeterFinch, who’s Second Aeon Publications in Wales originally published Wantling’s SickFly, 10,000r.p.m & Digging It, Yeah! and co-publishedSanQuentin’s Stranger with Trevor Reeves’ Caveman Press, New Zealand.


‘The book is a beautiful production. It makes me think ofthe wonderful books John Martin published at Black Sparrow Press. I am sure itwill be much sought after by collectors in years to come and, more importantly,it will stand as a record of a man’s life and work, for readers to discoverlong after we are all dead and gone,
which is really the most magical thingabout writing and publishing, I think.’

--HowardSounes, author of the highly acclaimed Charles Bukowski: Locked in the Armsof a Crazy Life
