From the introduction to 'Continuous Creation' a posthumous publication of Les Murray's works: "three massive volumes of the project Les referred to … as his hobby: 'I collect images, postcards, photos, bits of verse, weird newspaper snippets, labels. They all go into big old-style ledger books to which Clare gave the title, The Great Book', pronounced in Scots."
