Scope and Contents

Most Kickshaws books have small illustrations by Sheila Bourne and many words by John Crombie. This is the reverse: it has only one word, the salutation 'hello', which can become any number of maledictions if the letters are scrambled, and full-page illustrations. Presented as series of nine coloured letterpress prints on BFK Rives paper using a treadle platen press. Stored in John Crombie box. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
