Washington’s Birthday, and the Birth Date of “Steeples & Domes”

I have seen the printed proof and it’s finally almost available! We’re in the countdown period.

Thanks to many librarians, artists, and designers . . .

with special thanks to the artistry of art director/graphic designer Chris Costello (https://chriscostello.design/), this work exemplifies “the book as art”!

AND
