The developmental antecedents of illicit drug use: Evidence from a 25-year longitudinal study
David M. Fergusson, Joseph M. Boden, and L. John Horwood
Background: The present study examined the developmental antecedents of illicit drug use and
Methods: A 25-year prospective longitudinal study of the health, development, and adjustment of a
birth cohort of 1,265 New Zealand children. Measures included assessments of adolescent and
young adult illicit drug use and abuse/dependence; cannabis use to age 25; measures of parental
adjustment; measures of exposure to childhood sexual abuse, physical abuse, and interparental
violence; novelty-seeking; childhood and early adolescent adjustment and substance use; and
affiliation with substance-using peers.
Results: Illicit drug use and abuse/dependence from ages 16-25 were significantly associated (all p
values < .05) with a range of parental adjustment measures; exposure to abuse in childhood;
individual factors; and measures of childhood and early adolescent adjustment. Analyses using
repeated measures logistic regression models suggested that parental illicit drug use, gender,
novelty seeking, and childhood conduct disorder predicted later illicit drug use and
abuse/dependence. Further analyses revealed that these pathways to illicit drug use and
abuse/dependence were mediated via cannabis use, affiliation with substance using peers, and
alcohol use during ages 16-25.
Conclusions: The current study suggested that the illicit drug use and abuse/dependence were
associated with a range of early life circumstances and processes that put individuals at greater risk
of illicit drug use and abuse/dependence. However, the use of cannabis in late adolescence and
early adulthood emerged as the strongest risk factor for later involvement in other illicit drugs.
Keywords: illicit drug use, cannabis use, peer substance use, family background, longitudinal study

1. Introduction
In recent decades, many developed societies have grappled with issues concerning the use and
abuse of a range of illicit drugs, including hallucinogens (LSD, Ecstasy, PCP), opiates (heroin,
morphine), stimulants (methamphetamine), cocaine, barbiturates, solvents, prescription
medications, and plant extracts such as mushrooms (Substance Use and Mental Health Services
Administration, 2007; World Health Organization, 2000). The use of such drugs has raised issues
about the risk factors and life processes that lead young people to experiment with, use, and abuse
these drugs. This topic has been the subject of a growing literature (for reviews see: Anderson,
2006; Bloor, 2006; Compton et al., 2005; Galea et al., 2004; Hawkins et al., 1992; Mayes and
Suchman, 2006; Rehm et al., 2006; Ripple and Luther, 1996) that has identified a range of factors
associated with the increased usage of illicit drugs, including: family background factors, family
support, and parental supervision; exposure to abuse during childhood and adolescence; individual
factors such as temperament and gender; adjustment problems in childhood and early adolescence;
and affiliation with substance using peers. The purpose of the present investigation is to examine
the extent to which both: (a) childhood factors; and (b) adolescent adjustment and substance use;
may be related to later illicit drug use. A review of representative findings in this area is given
1.1 Parental adjustment factors
Research suggests that parental adjustment problems, including substance use and criminality, may
be related to adjustment problems in children, via genetic influences, social learning, or exposure to
an unstable home environment (e.g. Bahr et al., 2005; Keyes et al., 2007; Pears et al., 2007;
Stallings et al., 1997; e.g. van der Zwaluw et al., 2008). It could therefore be argued that parental
adjustment factors may play a key role in the development of substance use in offspring.
A wide range of studies have examined family background factors and their relationship to
risk of illicit drug use and abuse/dependence in adolescence and early adulthood. A number of
Page 4
studies have found that parental substance use may be related to substance use and abuse in
adolescents (Johnson and Leff, 1999). For example, Kilpatrick and colleagues (Kilpatrick et al.,
2000), using data from a national household survey, found that exposure to illicit drug abuse by
parents increased the risk of substance abuse and dependence amongst adolescents. Similarly,
Merikangas et al (1998) found that individuals who had first-degree relatives who were diagnosed
with substance use disorders were at an eight-fold risk of also being diagnosed with a substance use
disorder. Pears and colleagues (2007), using prospective data, found evidence to suggest that
patterns of substance use and abuse were transmitted across three generations.
Other factors such as lower levels of parental interest and monitoring, and higher levels of
parental criminality may be related to higher levels of substance use and abuse/dependence. For
example, Chilcoat and Anthony (1996) found that rates of illicit drug use were higher amongst
adolescents who perceived lower levels of parental concern and involvement. Similarly, Duncan et
al (1998) reported that inept parental monitoring was related to increased levels of substance use in
adolescents. Hayatbakhsh and colleagues (2007), using data from a prospective birth cohort, found
that maternal partner criminality predicted cannabis use by age 21. Similarly, Felitti and colleagues
(1998) found that parental criminality was associated with an increased risk of drug abuse amongst
a large (n > 10,000) cross-sectional sample. In general, the evidence suggests that family
dysfunction and parental adjustment problems may be associated with increased risk of illicit drug
1.2 Exposure to abuse in childhood
A second set of factors that has been linked to the risk of involvement with illicit drugs is exposure
to abuse during childhood. It could be argued that exposure to abuse in childhood may lead to
increased risk of substance use in adulthood, at least in part due to concomitant increases in risk of
mental illness (e.g. Mulder, 2002). However, it should be noted that longitudinal data are critical to
demonstrate links between childhood abuse and later outcomes (Putnam and Trickett, 1993).
Page 5
A number of longitudinal studies have found that exposure to sexual abuse in childhood
(CSA), exposure to physical abuse, and witnessing interparental violence may be linked to
increased risk of substance use and abuse/dependence in adolescence and adulthood (Miller et al.,
1997; Simpson and Miller, 2002). For example, Widom and colleagues (2006), using data from a
prospective cohort study, found that those exposed to sexual and/or physical abuse in childhood
were 1.5 times more likely to report using illicit drugs at age 40. Similarly, Kilpatrick et al (2000)
found that adolescents who reported having been sexually or physically abused, or who witnessed
interparental violence, were at increased risk for substance abuse/dependence. Also, Wilsnack and
colleagues (1997) found that women who reported exposure to CSA were more likely to report
using a range of illicit drugs than women who reported no CSA exposure. Felitti et al. (1998) found
that one of the key risk factors for later substance abuse/dependence was exposure to interparental
violence. Christofferson and Soothill (2003), using data from over 80,000 children born in
Denmark in 1966, found that violence between parents, stemming from alcohol abuse, increased
risks of drug addiction in children aged 15-27. In addition, Dube and colleagues (2002), using a
case-control design, found that exposure to interparental violence during childhood was associated
with increased likelihood of illicit drug use, including intravenous drug use. The findings of these
studies suggest that exposure to abuse during childhood increases the risk of illicit drug use and
abuse/dependence in adulthood.
1.3 Individual factors
Research suggest that there are a range of individual factors that may predict illicit drug use and
dependence. However, two of the strongest predictors of involvement in illicit drugs are gender and
novelty-seeking. For example, a range of studies has shown that males are more likely than females
to report the illicit drug use and abuse/dependence (Bloor, 2006), and that those reporting higher
levels of novelty-seeking (Acton, 2003; Staiger et al., 2007) demonstrate higher levels of illicit drug
use and abuse/dependence. For example, Duncan et al. (1998), using growth curve modelling

Did Albert Camus find inspiration for his most famous character, Meursault, in the figure of that errant nincompoop Julien Sorel from Stendhal's The Red and the Black? 1 I cannot be the first to notice this genealogical line of descent, but I can't remember ever having seen it remarked upon. (Not that I am anything like a scholar of the French novel.) Camus wrote in 1955, "I summarized The Stranger a long time ago, with a remark I admit was highly paradoxical: 'In our society any man who does not weep at his mother's funeral runs the risk of being sentenced to death.' I only meant that the hero of my book is condemned because he does not play the game." 2 Julien's problem is that he sees the nature of the game but cannot keep himself from being caught up in it. In any case, both characters face execution by the guillotine with courage, both have been read as modern Christ figures (Sorel is the son of a carpenter!) Both commit their crimes with a pistol & in a state of what we would now I think call derealization.
James Wood on Atheism & Atheists
At the end of an interview in Slate, the critic James wood said something that resonated with my own experience:
I'm always amazed anew that there are quite so many atheists in this country, and that they are quite so completely fanatical. That is to say, if you are unwise enough, as I have been, to write a sort of plague on both their houses type of piece, in which you are mildly critical of certain elements of the new atheism as well as being fairly obviously critical of religiosity, you get no quarter from the atheistic camp. That always sort of surprises me. There really is no space for any—I won't say middle position because it isn't a middle position. I'm a nonbeliever. But that there is no tolerance for the remotest whisper of rational discourse about the fact of religious practice, about the existence of religious practice, is dismaying to me.
Herman Wouk's WW2 Novels
I read Winds of War & War and Remembrance three decades ago on the recommendation of my friend & colleague Stanley Hodson. They struck me as good history and good fiction at the time, and I've recently listened to the audiobook versions of the novels narrated by Kevin Pariseau–all 102 hours. I still find them so. Does anyone ever compare these novels to War and Peace? Both are panoramic narratives of families & individuals caught up in the tidal forces of historical events, yet I have the sense that Wouk's books are commonly thought of as "popular" (as opposed to "literary") fiction. Is this the case? If so, why? I can't read Russian, so I cannot evaluate the beauties of Tolstoy's prose, but the translation I'm familiar with, by Anthony Briggs, doesn't seem qualitatively superior to Wouk's prose in his pair of novels.
I was particularly impressed, this time through the narrative, with the dialogic inclusion of excerpts from a (fictional) memoir by a fictional German general, Armin von Roon, imprisoned after the war for war crimes, "translated" after his own retirement from the Navy by the novels' main character Victor Henry, who occasionally responds to von Roon's interpretation of events in "translator's notes." The excruciatingly drawn out tragedy of errors that takes Natalie Jastrow Henry & her uncle, a popular Jewish historian of Christianity, from the Italian hill town of Sienna to Auschwitz functions as a kind of danse macabre in counterpoint to the heroic struggles of the Allies against the Axis.
Phonemes & Allophones
I've just been practicing Vietnamese tones, so I have particular sympathy for people learning to distinguish sounds in English that even most native speakers are, at best, only dimly aware of.
A Little Barb
The NY Times Book Review runs these fluffy little highly edited interviews with writers (and celebrities pretending to be writers) every week. The questions are always the same, or almost the same & the whole thing is actually kind of tiresome, but I'm a sucker for writer interviews & occasionally one finds gold in a worked-out claim. That is the case this week with Ursula K. Le Guin. Asked what general she particularly enjoys reading and which she avoids, she responds:
I read mostly novels, any kind of novels, and poetry, and all kinds of nonfiction, especially some kinds of science, biographies, some history, and books about and by Native Americans, and Tierra del Fuego, and Darwinian adaptation — oh, give me a book and if it's interesting, I'll read it. Avoidance? At the moment, I tend to avoid fiction about dysfunctional urban middle-class people written in the present tense. This makes it hard to find a new novel, sometimes.
I love that response, especially the way she slips in the shiv in the last sentence. I read (& re-read) a lot of Le Guin earlier this year: though it's mostly a matter of my own taste, I think she's best when she's writing what I think of as "evolutionary science fiction." 1 She tends to leave me cold when she moves over into fantasy & the supernatural.

Song School Guidelines
- No pets are allowed anywhere in the Festival grounds, campgrounds, or parking lots and cars. It would be cruel to bring your pet to this Festival. Dogs do not like crowds, heat or traffic. If you need to kennel your dog call:
- Blue Hills Kennel: 303-776-3907
- Cottonwood Boarding: 303-442-2603
- Doggie Dude Ranch: 303-682-0007
- Gunbarrel Kennels: 303-530-2500
- Audio taping the classes at the Song School is permitted (and often encourged). Recording devices must be self- contained (we do not provide AC outlets).
Song School Line Policy
Due to our Festival lease agreements with the Town of Lyons, we will again be charging $10 per day for camping and or parking at Bohn Park for the Song School campground and Folks Fest on-site camping lines. The line entry procedure itself will remain the same as it has been for the past few years.
The specific rules for the Song School are as follows:
- You may begin lining up for Song School Camping at our parking area in Bohn Park on Thursday, August 6th at noon. No cars will be admitted prior to that time. YOU MAY NOT ARRIVE ANY EARLIER! NO EXCEPTIONS.
- Cars will line up and receive numbers in the order they arrive. They will be charged the following:
- Thursday - $30
- Friday - $20
- Saturday - $10
- Sunday - no charge
- A staff member will stop by each evening to collect money. Don't worry if you miss them. As long as your car does not leave the line, you will receive the appropriate line number. Be prepared to pay the full fee (based on your arrival day) on the Sunday morning before we move the line to the Planet Bluegrass Ranch.
- Vehicles with trailers will only be charged as one vehicle.
- Payment must be CASH only.
- Vehicles must remain in line in order to hold their space.
- If you are planning on "camping" in line, it must be done within your vehicle. No tents please. Also, please try to keep the noise down at night as you will be in a residential neighborhood. Be respectful of nice folks who live in that neighborhood and have to go to work in the morning.
- Facilities will be very limited. The main bathroom building at the park was destroyed by the 2013 flood. There will be trash and recycling services, but there is no electricity or hookups of any kind.

Photographer Eirik Johnson's Barrow Cabins
In the summer of 2010, photographer Eirik Johnson adventured to the most northern stretch of the United States to capture several hunting cabins in Barrow, Alaska. He returned in winter 2012 during the frigid Arctic Winter Solstice to photograph the same cabins at the precise angle and position, as he did that one summer. With only a brief four hour window of dusk-like light during this recent winter trip, he still managed to succeed in a complete visual contrast, especially when the images are viewed side by side. The structures are used by native Iñupiat families who travel from Barrow to hunt for waterfowl in the summer and seals in the winter. "The cabins are situated along the shores of the Chukchi Sea, part of the larger Arctic Ocean. Each structure has been fashioned out of whatever makeshift materials are on hand, from weathered plywood to old shipping pallets collected from the nearby-decommissioned Navy Base. Seen together, both the summer and winter series are a meditation on the passage of time and seasonal shift along the extreme horizon of the Arctic."

Photographer We Love: Noah Webb
Noah Webb has been photographing architecture and people's homes for Dwell for about ten years. We just commissioned him again for a project in our upcoming special Prefab issue. His latest personal promotional piece has to be one of our favorites we've ever received—a little "passport" with pages of recycled medium format contact sheet FILM from his shoot archives. Brilliant! We love flipping through it every so often and reliving all of his past shoots. Click through our photos to enjoy some of his latest and not-so-latest work.

Photographer Nicholas Alan Cope's Black and White L.A.
For the past seven years, Los Angeles based architecture photographer Nicholas Alan Cope has been capturing the striking modernist cityscape the City of Angels has to offer and recently assembled them all in a stunning new book, with a foreword by fashion designer Rick Owens, called Whitewash. What's so beautiful about Whitewash is its reliance on the stark abstraction and contrast of the structures to hold your intrigue without telling you what or where the building is—it really is just a surreal and amazing picture book. He does give clues as to the neighborhood, so perhaps some local Angelinos will know and choose to keep the mystery alive, so it remains all about the photography and not the location.

Photographers We Love: Mark Mahaney
A name that may be familiar to you after reading many issues of Dwell: Mark Mahaney. Based in Brooklyn, New York with his wonderful family, Mark is an extremely talented photographer who has shot over a dozen stories for us and is always excited to take on a Dwell assignment. His work is beautiful and honest and photographs a house like he is capturing a portrait of a person. Check out more stories Mark has shot for Dwell here.

Today's Tumblr: Found by National Geographic
Dwell is a huge fan of Tumblrs for inspiration and pictorial satisfaction. Today, we focus on "Found," a Tumblr created by National Geographic to celebrate their 125th anniversary. Sourced from the National Geographic archives, many of these images were never published or released to the public. Although many of the images are missing their original date or location, they still reveal timeless moments across all cultures. The prints will also be available for sale in the National Geographic online store.

Photographer Focus: Rebecca Daniels
Rebecca Daniels is an architectural photographer based in San Francisco, mainly commissioned by local architects to shoot their latest project. She has a beautiful eye for abstract details, shapes, and colors. Whether it's a stairway, window or exterior wall, she takes advantage of the graphics around her and goes in for the tight detail. We love how one has no clue as to the scale, material, or object identity in her abstract series.

Neon colors, strategically placed objects, and graceful proportions fill each take. Herewith, a few selects from his portfolio thus far.

Toronto Houses by Kevin Morris
It all started by accident in the fall of 2012. Photographer Kevin Morris was exploring Deer Park, a neighborhood in Toronto famous for its Tudor and Colonial revival houses. Years spent as a resident in a "sea of concrete condos" only sparked further fascination. His goal—to show off the character, quirkiness, and beauty of everyday residential architecture in these neighborhoods. To date, he's documented nearly a hundred houses on his blog, House of the Day, with a year-end goal of 1000. Morris is currently working with fellow Toronto photographer Shane Fester on a new project called The Architecture of Empty debuting in May 2013, as part of Scotiabank's CONTACT Photography Festival in Toronto—the largest in the world.

Marking the directorial debut of Adam McKay, former head writer for Saturday Night Live and founder of the Upright Citizen's Brigade, Anchorman is set during the 1970s and stars Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy, San Diego's top-rated news anchorman. While Burgundy is outwardly willing to adjust to the idea of females in the workplace -- even outside of secretarial positions -- he certainly doesn't want his own job challenged. Keeping that in mind, it's no wonder that the arrival of Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), an aspiring newswoman, is, in Ron's eyes, not the studio's most welcome addition. After Veronica pays her dues covering so-called female-oriented fluff pieces (think cat fashion shows and cooking segments), the ambitious Veronica sets her eyes on the news desk; more specifically, on Ron's seat behind it. Not unpredictably, Ron doesn't take the threat lightly, and it isn't long before the rival newscasters are engaged in a very personal battle of the sexes. Anchorman was co-written by Ferrell, and features supporting performances from David Koechner, Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd, Tara Subkoff, and Maya Rudolph.

STellar Chaos is an Atari ST Bulletin Board System (BBS) online multiplayer strategy game that is ran as a BBS Door, an external program to a compatible BBS. Written in GFA Basic by Roger M. Thomas, and distributed as a compiled executable, it was one of the very few Atari online games available to BBS operators in the early 1990s. It was available up to version 1.52 in a shareware version with limited functionality, or in a registered version which unlocked all of the game features. Its ability to output ANSI art character graphics was unique amongst Atari ST door games and it could handle a user definable number of online game participants. It was released into the public domain and can be found on many Atari ST compilation CDs, namely the Crawly Crypt Archives, and Crawly Crypt Collection - Vol. 1 compiled by James L. Collins and published by The Crawly Crypt Corporation.

The federal government released a new report Tuesday about the harmful effects of synthetic drugs. The report states the fake drugs that mimic the effects of marijuana can produce damaging effects. K2, Spice and other synthetic drugs produce a high similar to smoking marijuana, but new data shows the fake post can be deadly. The drugs cause side effects like vomiting, a faster heart rate and convulsion. According to the federal report, synthetic drugs sent 11,406 people to the emergency room in 2010, most of them teenagers. "It's so appealing to young people for one thing is the misconception that is is safe... Out of those emergency room visits, one-third of the patients were aged 12 to 17. Thirty-five percent were young adults aged 18 to 24. "I've seen an increase in synthetic drug use in teenagers in Missouri," said Compass Prevention drug prevention supervisor Karen Farris Farris says the drug abuse program has been working hard to fight this trend, even after Congress banned the sale of the drugs this summer. "They alter a chemical in it that makes it outside of the chemicals that certain law bans," said Farris. "So it's very difficult to write legislation to cover every chemical that can possibly be altered." Synthetic drugs continue to pop up in stores labeled as herbal incenses. They first became popular in 2009 and according to the federal government, there has been a spike in ER visits from teenagers every year since. Drug prevention supervisors say because the laws to ban these synthetic drugs are always playing catch up, a better way to stop the use of them is to educate people on what they can do a person's body. Some signs to spot synthetic drug abuse is if someone sweats excessively, is agitated and restless. If you believe someone is abuse synthetic drugs, you are asked to call Compass Prevention at 573-442-2591 or the Pathways crisis hotline at 1-800-833-3915.

For Cardinals right-hander Chris Carpenter, the first two innings of his first rehab start Monday night in Springfield went well enough. The third inning, however, was not so hot. Considering where he has come since early February, the outing overall was a solid step in his attempt to pitch in the majors this season. Carpenter hit 95 mph on the Hammons Field speed gun, showed a sharp curve and struck out four in his first two innings, but he was unable to make it through the third. Before exiting with two outs, the Arkansas Travelers reached him for a single, double, homer, two walks and two earned runs. "It was a lot of fun, wish I could have gone a little longer," Carpenter told reporters after his outing, which was played in front of a sold-out crowd of 9,709. "My stuff was pretty good. I had a couple bad pitches in that last inning that ended in walks. First live game action in a long time and looking to build off of it." Expected to throw about 60 pitches, Carpenter threw...

Mask, The (DVD) (Re-release)
For a film heavily dependent on special effects, the best effect going in this 1994 comedy is the ever-expressive star, Jim Carrey, playing a shy bank teller who stumbles across an ancient mask that turns him into a green hepcat with extraordinary powers. Cameron Diaz plays the love interest, but the real purpose of the movie is to bring cartoonish energy and effects into a live-action production. Toward that end, director Charles Russell does the job, but the gimmick wears out quickly for those easily bored by this sort of pseudo-animation. Lots of kids adore the film, though, and why not? The hero gets to be a whirlwind of mischief and still get the girl. The DVD release includes optional full-screen and widescreen presentations, deleted scenes, trailers, optional French soundtrack and optional French and Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.See all Product Description

The Woods Paintball Range was established in 2008. Due to the huge construction and development happening at Riversands Incubation Hub it was closed temporarily. It is still located on Riversands Farm, now known as Riversands Commercial Park. The Range is situated just 10 minutes North of Fourways Shopping Mall in Johannesburg, South Africa.
We are excited to be re-launching The Woods Paintball Range. There are four different themed fields, and a shooting range. One field is a kiddies field, specifically designed for the under 10's to play "Splatmaster". The range is set in a pine forest, which allows for idyllic playing conditions and is wonderful for spectators too.
As before, our trademarks are friendliness, safety and professionalism. Existing clients will once again be able to enjoy the familiar surroundings and hospitality. New clients should be prepared to be impressed! We strive to set an exceptionally high standard of safety. Parents feel comfortable leaving their children in our safe, secure environment. Strict safety standards are adhered to at all times.
The Woods also lends itself to parties and family or group outings. Corporate events and product launches are frequently hosted here. Braai and picnic facilities are available for our patrons. We may even boast that a few movies have been filmed here!
Refreshments are available. There are facilities to accommodate almost any type of function. These include bachelor parties, birthday parties, corporate team building and any social event. We offer a safe, fun, relaxing and comfortable environment where beginners, children and pro's are all welcome. Our venue is ideal for non-players and children too. There is also a Farmers market, "Riversands Farmers' Market" on Sundays. Let Mom drop the kids for a game of paintball while she browses at all the delightful craft stalls.
The owners Cecil and Bernard look forward to seeing you soon.

3977Re: [Marbling] Marbling edges
Expand Messages
- Mar 13, 2007Regarding brushes... being self taught, when I first started, and still used brushes (I am a plastic squeeze bottle devotee) I used to get a nice long medium thick silky hair (don't ask what hair, I have no idea, but this works on all I tried) brush and tie a little rubber band just below the metal part. Then I'd wet the brush and stick it in a glass or cup until it dried. Remove the rubber band, and they have their shape still, after 29 years, a nice curve. I'd guess they were close to an inch long at first. I still use them for Stormont at times, or the large French Shell patterns.
As for book edge marbling, I had a big order for this about two or so years ago. It is not easy. You must insist you get the unbound,
unrounded, book/text blocks, and get them to run up to 20% over in case you ruin some. I think I did 150 good ones though marbled ate least 160. I messed up about 10 or so beyond redemption, others had smaller blank spots that could be touched up after drying. The loss of text blocks is their loss, you do not discount for it. It is usually no problem for them to print extra while up and running.
Here is how I did it... and please experiment before taking on the job, it is a lot trickier than marbling paper. I would, for practice either collect a whole load of peoples' unwanted paperbacks, or find them at a thrift store for real cheap, take the covers off and practice. I don't like ruining ANY book, I feel sorry for them! But you can tip the covers back on later and they will have pretty marbled edges. Or you can buy blank notepads about the right size and then give them away as gifts later. Whatever...practice first... and I charged extra for this job, I think about 35% over what a marbled paper would cost. I also supplied the endpapers to match the edges at regular price. You will see why you need to charge more, you have to be ultra careful and it is slower than paper and you need to buy tools and make others.
So once I felt confident enough, I took a saw and cut two boards a little smaller, about 1/2 inch all around except for at the spine, where it should meet. I used some maybe 1/3" or so thick wood. I did this 5X over, so ten boards the same. I got some long easy to adjust clamps... I do not know what they are called, but they have a lever to ride them up to the boards and then you screw them tighter. The lever works later to release the clamp. You will likely need about ten if a large order, because they need to sit clamped a little while before they come off. I used 10. (Ha ha now I remember where my clamps are, thanks to you, and I bought all new ones, because I am building guitars these days! How crazy is that!... anyway can't have too many clamps!).
OK...this is getting lengthy, but it will help you. First insert wax paper inside the front and back endpapers of EVERY book, as they will be most prone to sticking if any water gets in. Then I clamped, and this depends on thickness of the book, about four together tight in the wood boards. I dampened with alum, about half strength or less, use as little as you can get away with because you can't rinse them without a little water getting into the text block. Wipe any excess with a paper towel. The clamps have a handle, so you can hold them by the handles to lower to the size, that is why this type clamp is so good. You will see how to place them on, there will just be one obvious way. Do the pattern, and I start on one of the smaller edges, by touching a corner to the size, going towards the side edge, usually the largest. Do not pick the book up but keep rolling onto the next edge until you have done all three. I shake it out over the size or a bucket, whatever, to get drips off. then... the bricks! I suppose you can rig up some poles or tubing, but I lay them fore edge facing down in the open space between two little towers of bricks, wood will work, anything strong enough.... it is heavy with clamps and boards.
Then go on to the next set of four or more or less depending on comfort. Do all the same things, and when you set the second set to dry, go back to the first and blot the edges with a paper towel. Lightly so you don't ruin the pattern... and remember to not over use your paints...use just enough so you won't need to rinse. I know some will complain that a little alum gets left on, and it will. Others say the alum actually helps to preserve the paper somehow... anyway Don Guyot did a lengthy study on that years ago and concluded it preserves. I don't know one way or the other but tend to believe Don's studies, but use as little alum as possible just in case.
After you are out of clamps and boards.... you should have five or so sets of books hanging on the tubes or bricks, you can start unclamping the first one and lay that on a clean board, with another on top and a weight. I used a larger board so I could lay down four at a time and stack them... always wax paper between rows of books. This kept the edges from cockling with heavy weights overnight while drying further. As you marble a new set of books, you keep unclamping the next in the drying row, reusing the same clamps and boards. Dry the boards with towels before reuse, sometimes they get little drips, which you can see falling onto your pattern as you have already started....annoying, and a ruined book! I am detailing everything that I learned from having no experience, and the old books sure don't tell you much of anything, esp. the little bad things that can and do go wrong.
All books finally done, and me, swearing never again... I was surprised that only 10 were ruined. About the same number had a flaw I could touch up with colored markers. It is easier on a stone pattern to touch up than on a combed one, so if you have a choice insist on a stone one.
The whole ordeal turned out well, but gave me such anxiety I really don't want to do it again. It is more prone to air pockets/blank spots than paper because it is so inflexible while rolling down. Looking back, I should have asked them to chip in for the clamps, which were $20 each, so five sets (10) cost me $200. And the prep time with the boards was rough, sawing to size, sanding edges, I had the bricks laying around. Still, I lost a lot of the pay to tools for the job, though true, I have them now and only have to buy them once. Keep that expense in mind though when setting a price. You would have to cut different size boards all over again for a different size book, and this is very time consuming. I imagine the apprentices used to do all that!
Anyway.... hope this helps. I am glad to have had the experience, but it was one of the most trying experiences of my life as a marbler. Make sure they understand, you can even print this out for them if you want, I feel I didn't get paid enough to do it. All they may see is... ok, she did four at a time and they are smaller than the papers so it should cost way less. It is a whole art unto itself and requires practice, and is very frustrating. I wonder how many the old marblers used to ruin in the process too. We only see the good ones! The prep time will easily take you a few days between getting clamps and cutting boards, inserting wax papers, getting weights etc. Figure in for you time and materials on that. If you will use the clamps for other things you may not charge in part for them if you wish, I never used them for anything else. Now I will.... building the fourth guitar, it's addictive! I play professionally too, so it was a longtime dream, and now I am doing it. Thus far I keep them all!
hope this helps....

Hi Joan,
thanks for the word! I simply didn't dare to use the direct translation.
I suppose the bristles are boiled because bristles contain protein, and protein will be
hardened by boiling. I can vouch that it works, even my oldest drop brushes never lost
their form.
As to marbling edges: the bookblock incl. endpapers is cut to format, the edges must be
very smooth. All irregularities will show. Then protect the endpapers with waste paper,
place the block tightly between boards and 'roll' the edge over the surface of your size.
All the best,
Susanne Krause
