The Jamais Vu Papers was first published by Harmony Books/Crown in 1991. Although soon out of print, JVP maintained a following and by 2010 we were getting complaints from readers who couldn’t find copies. Our new edition won recognition for visionary fiction from the International Book Awards and Eric Hoffer awards, and was also shortlisted for Hoffer’s Montaigne Medal. A lucid-waking adventure, our most-often-quoted book. The fictional cast of Jamais Vu includes a bored entity called Llixgrijb, the celebrated neuroscientist Imogene Savonarola, a secret society known as The Ancient Order of the Brothers and Sisters of Thaumaturgy, a cut-rate Venice Beach shaman, a deranged deconstructionist scholar, and the elderly ladies of The Elmblight, Ohio, Book Club and Sewing Circle, who in the course of reading The Jamais Vu Papers manage to become a part of the story, threatening to disrupt the fabric of reality. Real-world personalities who take part in the story: Daniel C. Dennett,  Tom Robbins, Fred Alan Wolf, Paul Krassner, John Brockman, Timothy Leary, Fred Chappell, María De Céspedes, Jamake Highwater.

Out of print, but you can often find them from various sellers—

The Secret World of Unicorns by Pat Perrin. In a series of stories and imaginative “nonfiction” pages, Pat tells all about unicorns—where they live, what they eat (some eat clouds and rainbows!), and how to decipher mysterious unicorn hoof markings. This gorgeously illustrated book features scrapbook pages, postcards, news clips, and treasured mementos. It includes 4 collectible unicorn figurines. (Silver Dolphin Books)

We launched our first collaborative project in 1987, when we were both on the staff of Marilyn Ferguson’s newsletter Brain/Mind Bulletin. We proposed a book based on the Bulletin, organized, edited, updated, and commented on published research, and also collected and created related exercises and sidebars. We even did the page layout for PragMagic.

Marilyn Ferguson’s Book of PragMagic (Pocket Books, 1990) was also published in Spanish, Portuguese, German, and Japanese editions.
