I began working 15 hours a week for the NSCAD Press in December 1974, when Jeff Balsmeyer left to return to California. I had met and talked with Garry Kennedy a little earlier in the fall about my interest in artists books and he hooked me up with John Hutcheson, who had just arrived as the Master Printer for  the NSCAD Litho Workshop.

Garry told me he needed someone to handle receiving the order and mailing out the book for the Press. Four new books had been published and were just about to arrive. I was there when Claes Oldenburg’s Raw Notes, Simon Forti’s Handbook In Motion, Yvonne Rainer’s Work 1961-73 and Steve Reich’s Writings About Music all arrived. Donald Judd’s Complete Writings and Michael Snow’s Cover to Cover came out the next year.

We moved the books down into the basement of the Lithography Workshop on Hollis Street shortly into the new year and I continued from there.
