Belfort & Bastion's Re.Doubt: Cy Tamura

Cy Tamura

Cy Tamura's piece, "Collecting Amber," appears in Re.Doubt2. Unfortuately, the version of the work that was in the e-book did not precisely match the artist's vision. For technical reasons, it lacked his original formatting.

So that readers may view the piece as Mr. Tamura actually wanted it to appear, we have placed his original below.

About Re.Doubt

Re.Doubt is Belfort and Bastion's ongoing series of publications containing works from new and rising artists. We think of it as a cross between a literary magazine and a book— with the speed of publication and flexibility of the former and the relative permanence of the latter. (A magazine may be forgotten, but an e-book will endure forever, or at least as long as e-book readers also exist.)

Re.Doubt is an e-book, but that presents us with a problem. In addition to poetry, prose, and so on, we like to publish photos, graphics, illustrations, and other media. But, at the moment, it is just very difficult to include such things in a mobi file -- at least not at a resolution or scale that we'd like.

So, we have decided we'll provide small versions of the photos and illustrations within the e-book itself. But, then we'll post larger, higher resolution versions of the photos on this blog. Buyers of the books will then be provided the URL of those images and other media.

In this way, we get the best of both worlds -- multimedia and multibooks.
