Portfolio. A nostalgic look at careers and output and failures of Bay Area printers, with a selection of simple verse in subtle layouts, lovely bells and whistles galore. Seems to be complete, it is recent enough not to have lost any constituent item. One question is raised by portfolio's condition: its narrow side panels are crushed, as if it had lost something, or was one of the failures. The cards offer encouragement, as these are enclosed in an obi that sits as tight as a drum, no further enclosure would be possible. Book Club of California; what more to say. Book Club of California keepsake for 2021.
