The rules
governing 19th century Italian dueling emphasize honor and minute
degrees of offence in these elegantly translated excerpts by E.
Bruno Magliocco, from "The Italian Code of Chivalry".

the cover and a pop-up illustration inside the front end paper. 2

Inside the
eccentric drop-back cover you will find a title page printed on
acetate so you can look through to the actual azurite mineral
sample mounted inside the book. A circular tunnel going through
each page allows you to see the azurite as you read her story.

The
mirror-mylar inset in the cover represents a TV screen from which
spring all the annoying commercials you've ever heard. This

Bob", warms to his subject with typical product

inches, 39 very funny pages. The illustrations were
"painted" on a PC computer by Pat Baldwin. The book was
