<p>Cheryl Penn of South Africa was the first artist I noticed here at IUOMA who used the word "boekie" for small artist books. That was 2011 and it may have been used earlier. Carien, boek=book in Dutch is news to me. I learned something today, hallelujah and thank you! </p>

<p>There's also the word "boekie" which refers to a little book. A TLP could be a boekie (correct me if I'm wrong, Kat). Not sure who came up with the term in the mail art world but its origin is Afrikaans. And there's the word "deco" which is also a "boekie" (which is also a "zine"). Anything can be an Add & Pass, a zine or boekie, a standard 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper, a postcard, and ATC folks have their own Add & Passes, which are called "Jams."</p>

<p>Is this confusing…</p>

<p>Is the one that makes and A&P the inventor of the subject? Like add a certain stamp, a picture of a country, etc? Is there a standard form for and A&P? Does it end when the form finally returns to the inventor? What happens then?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Does an ATC has a specific sizing?</p>

<p>There are some unique words in mail art, not just abbreviations - you don't see all the time. I've never found a "dictionary"...maybe a project for someone else</p>
<p>inchies (art 1"x1")</p>
<p>twinchies (2"x 2")</p>
<p>artistamps = cinderellas</p>
<p>I'm sure there is more, just cannot think of them off the top of my head.</p>
