Notes for the Fourth Edition
I removed the big “8” from this edition’s cover, in keeping with my desire to drop the pointless numbering. The contents are otherwise untouched, with everything included in the earlier editions.
In late January 2020, just as this fourth edition was about to go to press, the Covid-19 lockdowns began. The reprint was postponed. I used the downtime to work on the 2020 Additions issue. The 24-page Superstition addendum (full of new material, intended to be printed with this fourth edition), went into the Additions issue instead.
My thanks to Chloe of Reading Frenzy for originally suggesting the topic of Superstition. Thanks to Jim Goad for help with the bulletin-board list of contributors at the back. The typefaces Space Bather and Vernefurly are both reprinted from 1960s subscription clip art. The back cover was recreated from a 1930s Speedball Lettering catalog. Thanks to contributors past and present for thousands of the images that appear here.
Thanks to Pat and Aaron at Buyolympia for publishing this. And thank you, my magical, sparkling friend, for reading!
