1992 · [Minneapolis]
by Swiszcz, Carolyn
[Minneapolis]: Carolyn Swiszcz, September, 1992. Edition limited to 12 signed and numbered copies (this, no. 8); approx. 5½" x 7¾", pp. [16]; illustrations by Swiszcz; original blue velvet over boards, printed paper label on upper cover; some fading at the extremities of the binding, and the stitching a little loose; all else near fine. This is Swiszcz's second book, completed while she was still a student at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design where she earned her BFA in 1994. Says Swiszcz, a transplant from New Bedford, Mass.: "As a result of The Storm [her first book completed in 1991] I had an internship with Gaylord Schanilec who taught me to set and print type properly. I worked with him the summer of 1992 on his book The Bread of This World, and I used his studio, in trade for more production work, to print another one of my books [Believe Mary]." From the colophoin: "The book was written, illustrated and printed by Carolyn Swiszcz. It couldn't have been made without the help of Gaylord Schanilec." Not in OCLC.
