My belief in monogamy coupled with marriage to Vivienne prevents me from courting owls; but as eating is the next best thing to bedding, I've named this book Owl Soup.

Created as an edition of ten, each copy measures 11.25" x 7.5", 32 pages with wax paper stamped cover, hand-stenciling on Stonehendge, and a binding by John Demerritt.















































































































































































Golem Likes a Pretty Face
