Heavenly Monkey Books
Before the collaboration with Claudia Cohen began, Barbara worked with Rollin Milroy of Heavenly Monkey to create Good & Evil in the Garden and Expressed: Ten Philatelic Fictions, the deluxe version of which was bound by Claudia. These projects introduced Barbara to the gentle pace of books made by hand.
