Number 1 in an edition of 93. Pamphlet bound with cream paper wrappers; embellished with a strip of purple mottled paper over the spine, and a tipped in color laser print on front cover. Book consists of text with computer manipulated photo illustrations. Text presents the adventures of a girl/woman who meets a "plain ordinary person with magic glasses.". "This book was made with the help of the following tools: Dell computer, Hp DeskJet printer and a Mustek greyscale hand scanner. The following fonts and software were used to produce the illustrations and the text: CG Times, Aldus Photostypler, and Microsoft Works. The book is printed on Rives Lt. Wt. paper. All illustrations in this book are actual photographs taken by the artist, manipulated and printed on Crane's Crest paper. The text is also the artist's own. Without the help and support of the Plain, Ordinary Person, it would not have been possible to make this book."--Colophon.
