What I’m after is a collective noun for book designers. There may be a few different ones that each suggest the specific activity of the book designers at a particular time. For example, geese on land are a ‘gaggle’ and then a ‘skein’ when flying and then they become a ‘plump’ when flying closely together.
But what could we call a group of book designers having a long, overdue drink in a bar somewhere in Melbourne if not before Christmas, then sometime early in 2014?
See the handsome list below for inspiration and then forward you suggestions . . . and then we can get this Inaugural Melbourne gathering happening.

Thank you chongmeister. How to choose? Can I add, a binding of . . . a press of . . . a justification of . . .a feathering of . . . I guess we'll meet somewhere in the gutter. bom bom! I like 'palimpsest' but it's hard to say and will be more so after a beer or 2, but that might be fun. It also literally means, 'scraped clean and used again', which can be how one feels at the end of hard days grind.
