Colophon on page 4: "this work of art was produced by the madgic press, which consists of Walter Battiss, Norman Catherine, Wokkel, Hoobie and Aldos. it was printed by Advance Printing Co Pty Ltd, 1 Central Rd., Fordsburg, Jhb.

corresponcence, articles, drawing, anything, can be addressed to Fook Madgic Press, 92 20th St, Menlow Park, Pretoria, South Africa."

On page 84 of Walter Battiss, Gentle Anarchist, there is a list of Publications by Walter Battiss. One of those listed is "Fook Nook 5. No date. Published by Walter Battiss". I believe this is a mis-interpretation of "Fook Nooks" as only two issues were published - 1 & 2. This reflects the same 'confusion' of Battiss sometimes whimsically signing his name "Batt155" for "Battiss".

A partially complete list of books by Walter Battiss appears on page 220 of Battiss edited by Karin Skawran & Michael Macnamara, Ad Donker, 1985. [This item is not listed].

See illustration of Wokkell and Hooby as 'Champion Fookballers' on page 15 of Fook Book 2. Hooby is Manie Eager. Wokkell is unidentified but in view of the Note below, would seem to be Barry Davidow. Wokkell appears as an author on Fook Nooks 1 and 2 and Hooby on Fook Nooks 2.
