“We attended every annual conclave of the Miniature Book Society until Tanya and Suzanne graduated school and they attended many of the meetings. They would make little one-of-a-kind books to sell and wanted to have a ‘real book’ to sell. This was a family project and so we made up a special press name to use with it. Suzanne drew the drawing, then Donna cut it in linoleum. Tanya wrote the text and set the type.”
