  10. Holy Crow! Your book rocks! You MUST give a tutorial on your acetate page. I would love to learn how to make a page like that. Hell, I'd love to learn how to make a book binding to accommodate thick pages. I guess I just need to hop on a plane and visit the Dungeon to get your tutelage. Exquisite work, my dear friend!
