Full description

Each Friend of the Borrowers Membership Packet (in mini manilla envelope) includes:

- Issue 1 of 'Borrowed Time'

- A hand-stamped, dated & numbered membership card cut from waste packaging

- An upcycled badge, made from a vintage copy of the original Borrowers book, and hand-stamped with the SPoB logo, 'Borrowers Recycle!'

Borrowed Time is an 8-page micro-zine (approx. 5.25 x 7.45 cm) printed on recycled newsprint paper. The print really is tiny - a magnifier might be advisable to avoid eye strain. The penny shown in pic 2 is NOT included in, but shown to demonstrate scale of print.

In this issue of Borrowed Time:

- '...like bread's for butter' - an editorial about contemporary Borrower life & the growing dangers of illegal Borrower farms

- a Borrowed chronology - listing of Borrowers in literature

- Do you believe in Borrowers? - a feature article covering the Borrowers' Lilliputian ancestry, Borrowers in literature, advice on living in harmony with Borrowers, plus the likelihood of Borrower colonisation in your own home

- the SPoB mission statement

Please note, reports on Borrower farming & other instances of Borrower-cruelty may be distressing to younger readers. SPoB as an entity is aimed at adult followers of the cause.
