Published in August 2023, Terrascopædia issue 21 features a new interview with the legendary Vashti Bunyan, guitarist James Waudby, bassist to the stars Steve Yorkand exciting new outsider folk duo Stella Kola. 20 pages long, and the heavyweight paper used means it's pushing at the boundary of what's affordable for standard rate postage.

150 copies have been produced. Each copy is entirely hand made from cover to cover, typeset one letter at a time in freshly cast 12pt Monotype Poliphilus type (circa. 1923) and printed in full colour on a fully restored 1926 vintage, 10cwt Arab Foolscap Folio treadle press. 

Please be aware that due to the hand crafted nature of this publication, small mistakes are bound to occur and no two copies can ever be exactly the same.

Stitched. Illustrated. Full colour. 20 archival quality paper pages plus card cover.
