Colleen Coover and Paul Guinan contributed pinups to Craig Yoe’s JETTA, a retrospective of Dan DeCarlo’s teenage heroine, who zoomed through the future a full decade before Judy Jetson.
This marks the first time the robot Boilerplate has made an appearance in print since the release of its coffee-table biography last October.

Portland’s KBOO radio broadcasted an interview and reading from Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel the other day. Missed it? That’s OK, you can listen to the half-hour program at the station’s archives.
The authors and interviewer presented the program as if the Victorian robot were real, and got a couple of angry calls…
 Orson's broadcast ironically caps Campion's story in the Boilerplate book.

Review copies of Paul Guinan’s BOILERPLATE book are getting rave reviews. The latest is from Erik Litz, Powells Books:
“This highly unique and visually stunning piece of work, which has found it’s way to book form, is a priceless piece of originality. Some other form of media would be amiss to not see this translated towards television or film. Both ‘old world’ and ‘high tech’ merge to birth a new hero for us all. Exquisite in execution and delivery…..ahh, there are still books, after all my years, that can inspire me so. My own words cannot do it justice. One can’t be told what BOILERPLATE is, one must experience it.”
