"Got Curiosa Rubberlineana Volume Eight If You Want It!"



 "Do YOU have a Curiosa Rubberlineana Volume Eight in your attic?"

NO! YOU DON'T!

Know why? Because they have only just been issued from the same press that brought you so many smiles, half-smiles and outright non-smiles –– the opposite of smiling which is to say a miserable expression. 

Eight copies of four lime–green issues –– already called "The Jade Quartet" by the collector scum, the doomscrolling trolls, the fratres ignorantes and the chatroom wits–– only were produced. 

     8 x 4 = 32

Two go to the author's own "private stash," one to the British Library –– a pathetic vanity BTW –– which leaves only five more available.

"And to the Deuce the hindmost."

There is only one way to get it.

There is only one way to receive enlightenment.

There is only one way to get into Heaven.

Put on dem silver slippers.

You must ask Rubberline ("Eloise Nebula") directly by whatever means are at hand.

Electronic mail, telephone, carrier pigeon or you may try sending a goose, a pelican, a spoonbill or a shoebill.

You might refer to it and he will blank you
                                        he will claim to not understand you
                                        he will claim to be another than who he is
                                        he will not receive you
                                        he will not allow entry to his door
                                        he will shun you in your steps
                                        he will leave you hanging in the most desolate streets
                                        he will take an alternative bridleway to evade you.

The author is they say a solitary man.

In many ways he is socially unsophisticated.

In other ways he is quite adroit.

It depends on when you catch him.

That's true of many people though.

Some people are only unsophisticated.

So it could be worse.

See Elias Nebula's "Youtube channel" for more infomration about the only way to get YOUR copy.

That's right, I said "infomration".

On purpose. 

(Or as I originally wrote "On pirpose.")
