17 Nov 2000 — Started almost two years ago, our latest release Curio, is finally finished. The first edition is limited to 50 hand-assembled copies made with hand-printed papers, 14-caret gold leaf covers, and other surprises. Each one contains a mystery. There will also be a limited edition of 20 promo copies without special artwork. Much thanks and love to Mat for the inspiration, ideas, and gentle prompting.
