A wallet, lodged in an elementary school heating duct for 25 years, is returned to its owner intact except for some missing cash. The book reconstructs a long-ago life from the wallet's documents. The top line of text describes the circumstances of the wallet's disappearance and comments on its contents, while a parallel text at the bottom of the page poses a moral dilemma that arose from the incident. This was the first book I made using digital print on demand, in this case, Xerox Docutech with color copier covers
