When asked about the 'look' of this website, John Ross said to the designer, 'a book, lets make it look like a book. I can understand books. They don't need plugs!'

'You see, being an old bastard who has only recently (and reluctantly) advanced from the quill to the dip pen as a means of drawing and correspondence, I am a relic of the mordant world of sepia and analogue. So if this website looks like a blind cat's eye on the information super highway, that's the way I like it!'.
