However after the death of McGregor, more recordings were released and an experimental documentary film was made in 2017. Prefaced by a word from the dreamer and an introduction by Dr Valentine Wolf Zetlin. Bound in yellow paper-covered boards with a Gorey illustration on front, salmon cloth spine with black lettering and an illustration of a lizard. x, 213 pp.
