16 november 1995 (fragments from notes and memories after a computer crash!):

Thinking of the necessity, in book publishing, to print enough copies to earn the money to pay for professional print people, I wrote:

     Aha, I see that it's pay not profits that is or are 
     the main obstacle to decentral publishing and 
     to reaching the joys of dismantling . . .

(and here I stopped to look up 'dismantle' in the Shorter Oxford Dictionary for I did not remember using the word before in this context)

     Mantle, a cloak or loose upper garment, even an envelope or cover, 
     the mantle of night, 
     as a verb: to clothe 
     Paradise Lost v, 279: the wings of the seraph 
             'came mantling o're his breast/ with regal Ornament'
     to cover or conceal, to envelop, 
     a froth or cream, 
     to blush, a blush mantling the cheeks, 
     'The ignorant fumes the mantle Their clearer reason' (Shakespeare)
     mountains mantled with snow, 'her face mantled with emotions'
