Only available with the purchase of "The Haunted Head" book by Nick Blinko, about which this was said: This hardback book is a limited edition, with blocked front cover and spine, pictorial end-papers with Nick's artwork on them and a book-ribbon. The novel itself is 200 pages long. Each copy will come with a 1-track CD featuring a newly-recorded and previously unreleased Rudimentary Peni song.

Nick wrote out a version of the book, in black ink, in his obsessively beautiful handwriting, on approximately 350 one-sided white postcards measuring 3 ½" x 5 ½" (90 × 147mm). Each copy of the book comes with one of these original postcards with text from the novel. This of course means that the book is limited to the number of manuscript cards. Once the cards are finished, the edition is ended.

Originally written by Wilfred Edward Salter Owen (1893-1918) about the fortune of five British 'Tommies' during World War I.
