Picking Up Fragments: The book

Dear readers,

Some of you know I've been working on a project to make a book of some of these designs. After several months of work, my friend and I tailored these 183 quotes into Picking Up Fragments: the book -- a collection of 30 tear out postcards.

Here's some of our favorites:

To order a book, contact me. We'll talk.

Day 183: Volume 1

Quote: There is no real ending. It's just the place where you stop the story.

Quoted: Frank Herbert

This calculates to half a year, so this project now comes to a close.
Thank you to everyone who followed and everyone who took the time to drop me a message about how it brightened their day or helped pass the time. I really really appreciate it, and I hope I can do this again sometime.
I'm about to take a Typography class this coming year... maybe I'll learn a thing or two!
See you around, then, fragment maker
