For those not in the know, The Culture Show is a newish BBC TV arts documentary series, criticised in several places for its flash presentation style. Andrew Graham-Dixon is one of the presenters.

Man. I'd hate to see this be just a lame attempt at self promotion. Especially by dragging "innocents" in to do the legwork.
I guess there is the off-chance that Mr. Dixon is already aware of this whole mess.
Is he what you'd call shadowy?

jilla pie found OrKid's newest Blog entry:

Things look to be hotting up on the trail of Book Zero... Islington has revealed a clue which seems to shine light on where in London it might be found... I don't know London at all well so I'm not going to be much help... I wish I could afford a holiday there though, I want to be in on this discovery! So... who's going? Anybody live in London fancy running around picking up after our scatty Time Travelling friend?? Hehhehehe.
I've been going through my book collection and I've found a few old gems... wonder what I should do with them...
In non-triskabiblios related news - yes, I do have a life outside of this 'game' - my flatmate Orla brought home a kitten, she found it in a box - and it's soooo cute! Except, I'm ferociously allergic to kittens, plus it weed on me. Sigh. It's a love/hate relationship...
Let me know what's going on as we near the date of Book Zero discovery... I'm getting twitchy as the Full Moon approaches...

OrKid...
Your geography is showing.

Haha I noticed that too, and in her other posts there is british lingo also. Although she could come up with an excuse because she posted this after a comment in her LJ:

"Oh and I'm a US native, but I've lived in Europe for 2 years. I kinda like the accents in the UK. Theres loads of different types, I went to birmingham and that was fun. Bit busy though."

I thought it important that this be posted here to be seen/read by those new to the quest.

It is a response to my letter to Islington via Toby....

Dear _____(he used my real name...would kinda ruin my Incog Neato ID to share it further!!),
Thanks for your eloquent reply. I've been given Islington's Inbox to try and deal with, there are thousands of helpful people out there that I am trying to reply to on his behalf.
Your literary tastes are good, and your particular choices, I am
sure, will shine a helpful light on this tricky conundrum. The 'game' will go beyond sharing reading lists, it is Important to Islington's success that which ever books are on his mystic list be read and sent on all over the world. When he explained it to me, he talked about this vortex principle - I will soon upload the logs of our conversation so it is more clear. Basicly, something about the movements of the books, passing through various academic and personal networks, being constantly re-read by co-operative people then sent on, this, he feels, will go some way to facilitating the End Results he so desperately requires.
So if you want to share any books you think would be beneficial in subject or style to the triskabiblios library, please find someone else who is actively playing, befriend them, and send them a copy. For the price of a charity shop book and a stamp you will be helping to decypher one of the most profound riddles of the TwentieFirst Century and help us link up with the Morrisian Future of Nowhere.
Anyway, thanks for being so diligent. I will keep in touch as and when I can. Please explain to the others what I've told you, since I'm quite tired and will go get some sleep.

Toby
triskabiblios scribe

PS Your ID rules. hehehe Incog Neato! *yay*

As you know, I followed through with the request and mailed a copy of Siddhartha to Mountain Girl.

I have yet to hear of any other books being passed on. *nudge...nudge*

This was also the source for Morrisian's News from Nowhere being added to the list of books.

Carry on....

Here is a copy of an e-mail I sent to Ramine Fardad.

Ramine,

Greetings. I am part of a search for the 13 books. It has been implied, you are the caretaker of two copies of Issue Zero, one in English and one in French. An e-mail sent to a friend from Ixltaan suggests we request you to auction the English copy of this book.

Any knowledge you have on the subject of Issue Zero would be most welcome. How did you come into possession of these copies?

If you have any question please feel free to contact me at rukind88SPLATyahoo.com

Thank You and Blessings Abound!
