Transreal Tapirs!
April 27th was the first World Tapir Day.
Photos of the zoo’s tapirs that we took that day are on my Flickr page, or there’s a post about them on Semaphore for Ducks.
More importantly, especially for the tapirs, Transreal Fiction took the plunge and sponsored the zoos tapirs!
The zoo is actively engaged in tapir conservation projects although the Transreal sponsorship is really meant to help towards the upkeep of the Edinburgh ones…
Raffles, the shop tapir, is very pleased!

Transreal Fiction
Transreal Fiction is a shop dedicated to selling science fiction, fantasy & related books, together with a limited selection of other merchandise.But really, it’s about books. Transreal Fiction opened in April 1997. The owner, Mike Calder, first sold sf & f books many years ago and has worked in the business either part- or full-time since. For years he also had a respectable job as well, but that’s another story…
The shop is named after the term coined by Rudy Rucker to describe his fiction and I thought it an apt name for a shop specialising in speculative fiction. And, in case you’re wondering, yes, Rudy Rucker was happy to allow me to use of the term as a name for my shop.
This year’s Fringe Art Exhibition was called Alien Surfaces. There’s a link to more info at the top…
