was printed when I discovered I had only a capital B and number 4 from a font of very large wood type. "Look before you leap!" seemed an appropriate adage for their use, so I carved spectacles and an eye in linoleum and added a photoengraved eye with other wood type from the cabinet I bought from Long Brothers Printing in downtown St. John's. Printed on Somerset paper.
