  • This is the Good Part

    Why yes, that is my comb bookmark in the brand spankin’ new issue No. 29 of Uppercase magazine.  Out on stands today, it’s about paper and all things book-related, and – this is the good part – you can download a comb bookmark of your very own right here along with many other fabu designs.  So, go…
