Artist's Handbook

I have just started to read a nearly final manuscript copy of a forthcoming book -- Bridges in the Mind: An Artist's Handbook for Everyday Living -- by Marianne Roccaforte to be published by Benu Press, Hopkins, MN. I agreed to read it and write a blurb. Coming from a family of visual-thinking (sometimes dyslexic) artists, where there was often tension between the artistic and the practical, this book, initially, strikes me as a treasure. I wish such a book existed many years ago. I look forward to learning a lot -- and I will let you know what I find out.
