Other Credits: An anthology of 22 novelists, poets, and short story writers. The title for this book is printed on a pencil which is then inserted into a diecut in the cover. The pencil was chosen as a symbol of the writer and of the writing process. For many of us, the pencil is the first introduction to creating letters, words, and – later on – sentences. The stories contained within are of a personal nature, and the intimate quality of the pencil seemed to be the perfect complement.The pencil is completely removable.=====Client: Vilcek FoundationArchive Photo Credits: Bob MartusFonts: Storno (Lineto) & Sabon9.5 x 6 x 2 in592 pages
