“This was the second book commissioned by Gordon Salter, made in memory of his friend. Our work was so inexpensive at the time, we figure that after making the first he couldn’t resist having us make a second. We still didn’t know much about bookmaking and neglected to include a real title page, so the book has no date or place of publication.”
