Dickon - That's probably one of my favourite things about Wilson's aesthetic. He was motioning towards the completists in the act of numbering the FAC catalogue as he did, but pissing them off simultaneously by ensuring you had to be wrapped up in the narrative/life of Factory to actually complete it.

You might read the PDF, but how much more would it mean to hold the thing? Miles – I hope it’s more than just the pair of us, haha.
