The Body of Water
Walter Bargen

This book collects Walter’s water trilogy–Yet Other Waters (1990), The Vertical River (1996), and Water Breathing Air (1999)–into one volume. The three individual books were all published by Timberline, and Walter got Mike Sleadd, a fascinating illustrator from Columbia, Missouri, to create pen and ink drawings for the sectional title pages. The first two of the trilogy were done by letterpress originally, but we decided to do the book by offset. Therefore, the books was set in 11 pt. Book Antiqua using Corel WordPerfect 8. Fulton Graphics printed, and I handstitched and bound the books.
