INFOLIO was a four-page literature and art magazine I did in the 1980s. The first forty appeared daily (Monday to Friday from July 1st to August 25th 1986): the next sixty were weekly (October 3rd 1986 to November 27th 1987). I no longer have copies, but when I was in Marseille in 2002 Emmanuel Ponsart produced a set, and Elizabeth kindly made fast xeroxes of them: the scans are from those (hence the staple marks). The circular (sometimes) shape on the back covers (which I reserved to doodle on) are cork-stamps in multicoloured inks on the originals: some of the issues had colour added by hand.
The texts and graphics were reproduced from the original manuscripts: strange now to think there was a time when one could recognise a friend's typewriting. Occasionally there would be text and no graphic, so I had to improvise (the (TR) in the index).

Thanks to Thomas Evans, who lent me his copies of the third, alphabetical series (which only went to "P"), I've been
able to scan from the originals, including the hand-carved coloured letters.
INFOLIO A to P
There were occasional INFOLIO inserts or supplements. Dave Cook has unearthed two of them: by inference there must have been at least four.
