The book I made.

I made this book. It's a small book, but I made it and wrote the stuff that is in it, and the feeling that gives just reinforces my belief that the more things you make, the better. This is the last poem on the last page:

Scott, I was just going to email you to see if you were willing to make another copy. I would purchase it, but if it bloodies your fingers then I won't make you make another.

Hey, we need to talk, Houston. Maybe we can get together later this week or this weekend and record.

I'm planning making some more books this summer after I change a couple of things. George asked for four copies and I want a clean one for myself, too. I'll let you know.

Suh--weet.

I was talking to Leslie out at the Library the other day. She wants to a show of hand-made books. So, I guess what I'm saying Hill is...I better see your stuff next to mine.

LOVE, DAVID

That's a cool idea. When I see her next I'll nominate myself.
