At 5:46pm on January 14, 2009, Ruud Janssen said…: Hi John.
Currently I am working on a publication (book) to celebrate the 20 years of IUOMA. In it will be texts connected to what happened with IUOMA (history) but also about how the electronic world has influenced the mail-art network. Since you write such good texts I wonder if you would consider writing one for this specific issue. Also things connected to IUOMA that have been made over the years will be included in the book.

What do you think? Would you consider a specific subject or topic?
