My girlfriend recently picked up this mad book from a charity shop, purporting to be exceprts from the scrapbook of Aloysius Copprthwaite (it's a daft 1980s mock-homage job really) ... it's full of crazy Victorianesque madness, such as the Stonehenge National Early Warning Defence System, and the Brighton Pier Cross-Channel Dirigiplane Terminal... it's absolutely wonderful and if anyone sees it, I recommend they get it. Genuine craziness with beautiful illustrations.

I'm sorry, my scanner is on the frizz at the moment... I'll do what I can, when I can, but I'm afraid unless someone can find a net example, this thread is going to be remarkably short of illustrations

Yup, that's the one!

It's not all like that, some of it's much sillier...

The real question is what mini would be best for Professor AJ Copperthwaite, and what kind of expeditions will he (or she...?) end up on?

I must look out for that book!

I might have to look at Amazon then as they say they don't have that book. Though that listing is still valid on the site..

I hate it when companies do that. I mean its not hard to keep electronic data upto date.
