Little-Known Facts: the book
Skates are cartilaginous fish. They belong to the Rajidae family, controlling half the casinos in Las Vegas.
So begins "Little-Known Facts About Various Marine-Dwelling Animals," a collection of short texts written by Mig Living about life, disguised as informative articles about fish.
"Little-Known Facts" is full of wonderful, old-fashionedy "graphic mish-mashes" by Brandy Fox.
The first edition of "Little-Known Facts" is limited to 50 copies. It is professionally printed and hand-bound by the author in the traditional Japanese stab binding style (more on stab binding: Wikipedia.) A variety of papers were used, including Washi and hand-made watercolor paper, with end sheets of handmade paper with mango leaves in it. Some covers are hand-embossed. Others feature an imitation gold leaf fish. One even has a genuine gold leaf fish, and cat paw prints. Each book is really very individually cool, in other words.

The first edition is sold out! Thank you!
The first 50 have found homes, now, but if you would be interested in a second edition, please contact Mig Living by the usual (Pony Express) means. Just kidding. Please email: metamorphosist AT gmail DOT com.
Thank you to all who made the first edition of "Little Known Facts About Various Marine-Dwelling Animals" a success.
