Happy Leopard Chapbooks
History: by Beth
One book never being enough, as well as a wealth of charities to choose from, it was decided some rules needed to be put in place for future projects. |
History: by Kate
The success of the project inspired the participants to plan another production for another local charity. |
The following statutes were adopted:

2. Designers will collaborate with the Authors, Artists and Book Binders to develop the book projects.
3. Copyright for all creative content is retained by the individual artist or writer and may be re-issued in another format or sold at their discretion outside of the Happy Leopard limited edition.

With our ninth book we have found ourselves successful enough to move our national headquarters into new digs.
We began our corporate life in a file folder. As we grew we moved to a shoebox, and thence to a large-ish clear rubber tub. But now, we have reached the big time: a suitcase.
And not just any old suitcase. A very special old suitcase. With new leopard inner lining and the book covers of all our past travels on the lid.
We look forward to filling the whole of the outside of our new headquarters.
Much thanks to our CFO
Kate Hodgson
for all her labours in scouting this location for us and making sure it was done up in fine fashion.
