A short collection of Chinese spam emails, as received and translated through Google Translate. Designed in one day at various locations and printed on a Risograph RZ370, the book reflects both the throw–away nature of spam emails and also the accidental humour when the original message becomes lost in translation.

A collaboration with Jamie Winder, printed by Victory Press.
