For those of you unable to make it to last night's book launch, you can now buy a copy of Richard Parker's from The Mountain of California ... via the Press page.

For those who did make it, thank you for making it a fantastic night. Thanks to the poets, Linus Slug, Michael Kindellan and Tim Atkins for reading, to Josephine Wood for her video performance, to Rumour Cubes for their fantastic performance, you can download their EP here for free, and most of all to Richard Parker for allowing us to publish his work.

A few people have been told the next Openned book table is tomorrow, we're not sure where this information has come from - it's actually on the 7th August. Please pass this information on if you know of anyone who is planning to go to Café 1001 tomorrow.
