Souvenir BookBy its very nature the Worldcon is ephemeral, existing largely in the memories of those people who were there and the tales told afterwards. Very few artefacts remain after the event to help solidify these memories into facts: a few Hugos in the hands of the lucky winners; T-shirts and other merchandise; and the Souvenir Book. Because of this, UK Worldcons have always believed that the Souvenir Book should be of the very highest standard since it remains as one of the last physical reminders of the event for most people. Interaction is no different. We want to produce a Souvenir Book that will pass the test of time, with thematic values and content which is as relevant in the future as it will be on the day. We promise it will be a book that you will treasure and one that will increase in its value to you as time passes. We have commissioned a spectacular cover by Hugo-winning artist Jim Burns, and Eve & John Harvey, the editors, have coaxed original material by some of the best writers we can find. If you’re interested in how we got to where we are now, there will be historical retrospectives of UK and European fandoms, as well as photos and reminiscences from past conventions. We will also showcase our Guests of Honour, and provide a more light-hearted view of this great passion of ours – science fiction – in all its guises. But that’s enough about the content; what colour is the paper, We hear you ask? White! Seriously, though, to ensure it will last more than the first read, the Souvenir Book has been produced to very high standards: silk gloss art paper to make sure artwork is reproduced well, full colour as well as black and white, and all put together with sewn binding.
