Blinn, typographic designer and Þne press publisher. The chapters on Barry and Carol alone are worth the price of the book! Jeanne Braham allows the reader an intimate glimpse into our lives as we work at our solitary crafts. Anyone who appreciates Þnely made hand work will want to add this volume to one¹s library.176 pages; 7 by 9 inches; 75 full color photographs.
