Reviews"The stories are wonderful, the art just melts my heart, and the whole design and execution is exquisite. This is what I think we should be doing as we make claims to be documentarians, these are the things that really matter. I sincerely hope you guys will produce many, many volumes in this spirit." -Dr. Randolph Valentine
