Tangerine Press in the UK have reissued a lot of Wantling's work in handsome additions, and continue to do so:

I got one of the last copies of The Fix, but missed out on Only in the Sun. After much searching, I found a copy of Only in the Sun tonight and it's in motion my way.

I'm not convinced that Haiku is the form of choice to write on H.

Didn't Buk knock Wantling and his work at one point? Probably because of the heroin thing, I'd imagine...Steve Richmond got it a bit as well. Not a fan of the needle, that's for sure.

Got this from Tangerine Press. It's a pretty damn nice book. Oversized format, featuring art from the original book, hand-sewn, with some of that gorgeous marbled paper as end pages. Well done!
