That is what Cheryl calls this splendid book, a book "sort of about current things, and things a little past": …

Fantastic collages--they knocked my sox off.

Next come the latest crushed cans from Erni, always a thrill, and in this group the one at the upper right especially kills me. It is so flat--flatter than usual--and some of it seems to be…

Envious of the coinbook pages Alicia has sent others, I received a coinbook and couldn't be happier: 

This coinbook is painted thickly and beautifully with mostly copper-penny-color paint, has a few more "pages" to it (Alicia pasted the…

Botticelli book cover, that is, a nice one: This is a thank-you note, according to Svenja, for the book cover she liked so much--notice the beautiful gold heart in his hands. It might be a little forward of Botticelli, but I don't mind! On the address side Svenja uses a "pfg" stamp or print block, which I am also very taken with and she says she bought along with some other…

I love it, as I do the book that…

This handsome mail art card is fantastic, I love it, along with the delightful booklets: I've seen some of Samuel's ultra-tiny fluxus and asemic books elsewhere, and coveted them.

Also enclosed is a [ ... ] cool add+pass envelope (I.D. credit: Lesley Magwood Fraser).  thank you for everything, I'm so pleased to have MA from you ~…

Lisa sent me what she calls one of the strangest MA she has ever made: …

Number 7:

I love this asemic cardboard booklet, an excellent piece. Thank you very much,…

Who knew? Just Nadine's envelope taught me a lot (and I'm upset that the hot dog really is a sausage). Inside was a great treasure, related due to the comment on history that the book's title announces. This book is at least part trashpo--or is it all trashpo?…

Beautifully asemic and exquisitely understated work:…
