NEW TAYLOR MORRISON BOOK

Dick Johnson writes: "A new book by Taylor Morrison
arrived in the mail this week -- "The Coast Mappers."
This highly talented author / artist scored again. Intended
for children, adults can learn the technology of his subjects,
the "how" it was done.

There is a theme that runs through his last three books --
engraving. This time he tells how maps are engraved (and
printed). The engraving is not as extensive as in his last
book, "The Buffalo Nickel," but it does reveal how important
engraving is to the printed page. (Recently in E-Sylum -- vol 8
no 20, May 15, 2005 -- I wrote of what a treasure his Buffalo
Nickel book was.)

If you have a chance to have the author / artist sign your book
do so. For "The Buffalo Nickel" he draws a picture of a buffalo,
for this book it was a paddle wheel ship among ocean waves."
