Wow! Nina and I created this book when I was in 10th grade as a way to avoid writing a paper on communications. We shot the photos in our basement on a white sheet, and because we developed them ourselves in a friend's darkroom, they were a mess--to say nothing of my mime abilities which were primitive at best. (I did, however, score an "A.")
When Lerner Publications picked it up, we were paid a total of $300--big bucks compared to babysitting--but even better, we were panned by the NY Times Review of Books. That's actually one of my prouder moments--how many teenagers can claim THAT?!
Anyway, it's utterly lovely to read about this odd little book online--a concept which in 1974 wasn't even the stuff of SciFi.
