DICTIONARY SWAP
This book was part of a Round Robin for the Altered Books
group back in 2001/2002. Due to various computer crashes I lost most of
the artwork, so here is what I do have! I hope you enjoy it. This was my second swap ever, and I think the first few
pages show this - still, one has to start somewhere, and it's good to be able to
look back and see some progress!
