WORDS AND WOOD
Pacific Northwest Woodcuts and Haiku
by Debby Neely
An astonishing book debut. The variety of moods and nuances Debby evokes in simple black and white — delicacy writ with a knife and gouge — testifies to her craftsmanship and to her love for her subjects. Adding haiku to these dramatic images pins them in moments and heightens our attention and interest.

However isolated Longview was, thanks to its huge ambitions and aggressive promotion the whole world would watch its birth and development
by Michael O. Perry
From a reclaimed swamp on the Columbia River, Long-Bell produced a million board feet a day, shipped their lumber around the world, and built a model city called Longview. This is history not just of a region, but of a daring spirit, relentless idealism, and colossal ambition. By the mid-thirties, the Depression had crumbled their empire. But the planned city they built still stood, and stands today.
