"Whoop!
Whoop!"
The official
biography of former Portland mayor, Bud Clark, is almost here!
Reverend Billy has been sequestered in the basement for months,
compiling data, photographs, and all manner of memorabilia, coming
out only for consultations with Bud and Michael Burgess, the book's
author (and to talk about Howard Dean, of course). Keep an eye
out -- it'll be hitting your bookstore shelves very soon!
These are
images of some of the finished pages, for your previewing enjoyment.
Click on an image to view a full-size version, which will open

getting an advance look, we also hope you will do so with respect.
