New Book

Anyone heard of Chapbooks [no not those top shelf publications in Newsagents :eek: Oh Matron] well I had not but I will know tomorrow. It's heritage week this week and a company in Newcastle have offered a free 2 hour crash course in producing a Chapbook . The basics are you seemingly select a subject [ours tomorrow is specifically the Theatres in Newcastle] and you visit all components taking notes making quick sketches and at the end return to their studio to produce said Chapbook which I guess is going to be pamphlet like. There is a history of them here


It got me thinking this would be a great medium for all things LOTSW where those visiting the areas where they filmed could make quick sketch , photo or write some narrative and we could look into funding the production of it for all the site members who may not be able to travel to the region. Let you know more about it after tomorrow.
 
I had heard of Chapbooks in my wanderings through history, but never seen them. This sounds interesting. I like your idea of sketch or photo books of people's travels through the LOTSW filming areas, too.
