"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 in a new window. The larger images may take some time to load, depending on your connection, so please be patient. Of course, these images are copyrighted, so while we do hope you'll enjoy getting an advance look, we also hope you will do so with respect.
