MARSHALL BROOKS

"Brooks and Greene have assembled some of the richest pieces of fiction and poetry about a variety of life's journeys. Contributors range from Columbus' [Ohio] most famous inmate, O. Henry to Sophocles to Edward Abbey to Kate Chopin. Birch Brook specializes in producing quality letterpress editions at a price affordable to all. This volume is well worth every cent."

OHIOANA QUARTERLY

"The criterion of selection—choices made and actions taken that change the course of personal history—hits home with inherent appeal . . . The letterpress edition—with its restrained cover and type that has punched the pages with gusto—has a fateful charm of its own."
