This is what Oliviér mentioned at the end of the session. It's Mallarmé's un coup de des reprinted to the exact specifications of the c.1923(?) edition. in french, but a decent facisimlie.

it's only 15 quid

Magic number!
Loving the idea of finding a secret numerical code ("l'unique nombre") hidden in Mallarmé's poem. Quentin Meillassoux speculates it all in this book.

Concrete Island
I can't remember if we have discussed Ballard within our sessions, but I thought his novel Concrete Island has some crossover with our discussions. Here is an article that raises some interesting points from the text which seem relevant, I'm thinking specifically of the reference to a crypt, the highway in parallel to the railway and the void space that the novel takes place in.
