Very much an art deco production, and the design, indicated by endpapers, for instance, all appear hallmarks of Seattle printer Frank McCaffrey and his Dogwood Press, but we could find no definitive proof of that handiwork. A small card, in envelope, is laid in, from the ForgetMeNot Florists, Bremerton; card reads, simply: "Hello Darling". Dust jacket is now preserved in a clear, removable archival protector.
