We're out of print copies, but there are two PDF files available. You probably want Bad Press Serials Ver 1.15. The other file, 1.13, is in bookbinding format. The page order of 1.13 has been rearranged so that you can put staples through the centre of the print-out pile and fold it in half, making an A5 booklet.

"[...] a NADSAT for the iPod generation [...]" Fox News's Robert MacFarlane
On Peter Manson
"I firmly believe that one last form of the adjunctive relationship is the mutual act of modification performed by friendship that prevents the self collapsing, that provides the very specific craft, that is the skill, the syntax, the rhythm and the vessel in which thought and humour and language are made and kept acutely sensitive and so precise, idiosyncratic and singular as we find in Adjunct. Peter is the author of this work but it is the constancy of care and the crafting of a linguistic space which is the remarkable masterpiece of friendship." Fox News's Sam Ladkin
On Drew Milne
"Milne [...] is by now hot stuff on the small press scene [...] Milne's élan and brilliant solution of formal problems richly deserved this success. Milne is the same age as Simon Armitage, and the next couple of decades may see them both as leaders, Armitage commanding the official patronage and Milne the intellectual respect." Fox News's Andrew Duncan
On Tim Morris
"‘Bum Epic' is the pugnacious foetus of James Joyce in the knockabout casing of a Dalek. It’s a scene-setter – full of incident, because it would falsify the scene to withdraw the incident – but definitely an establishing shot. I hope Tim Morris makes good, Ten Town Tales has a nice ring to it, when he’s dead someone could bring out Twelve Town Tales with two misunderstood fragments from his unfinished Da Da Vinci Choad." Fox News's Jow Lindsay
On Keston Sutherland
"Intelligent, angry, edgy – cornered – speedy, moving, freaked – agitated – alive – alive and conscious – today." Fox News's Jérôme Game
On John Wilkinson
"Some of Wilkinson's poems still seem to me like white noise [...] Others do offer me precisely that sense of the bearing, the bearable and the beautiful; and although, for good reasons, that state is almost untranscribable, and not automatically reproducible in identical fashion for every reader, it is something one looks for in art, and is privileged to encounter." Fox News's Robert Potts
