A collectable to CHERISH for years to come!   I am offering these fat / chunky / altered books to help me rebuild from the loss of my art studio on March 30th. I had a small house fire and my kitchen and studio were destroyed. (All the pets and people were ok, thank goodness.) Insurance only covered 200$ for a business related expense, so, I will be selling bits and pieces of things on here to help with replacing the items I lost. I know there are many people out there with special needs and things are tough for all of us, but I wanted to offer these as they are little artistic jewels from my collection. Truly a one of a kind collection of artwork! The book was a collaborative effort that started with the Fatbooks yahoo group. You may not get another chance to get one of these from the Fatbook group of artists (myself included), because, unfortunately, the group is changing and it is not as active as it once was (Boo-Hoo).     Thank you ahead of time for looking.
