FOREWORD

To introduce this series I have taken as my cue “a slightly ragged and rum collection which nevertheless establishes the majority of themes for subsequent collections” (CP Supplement, AD 10/70). Correspondingly, “in order to avoid your having to accept such themes, I am merely indexing the schemes under code letters, the definition of which will not be given until the end of the series” (ib.).
(I still think the untitled albums and scrapbooks far more useful).
As Cedric Price put it, “…there is an element of the horror comic about all this – if architects’ shortfalls were more widely known, then who knows, our individual productivity might be collectively accelerated. I for one would like to know more about local housing authority roofs that, under certain circumstances, can fly” (ib.). I could hardly agree more.
