This copy inscribed to Merker: "For Kim - What can I say that would be adequate to the years our friendship spans. We set out together with this book - it's been good - And I'm grateful. Bob." My Glass Brother is Dana's first book, and this is, in effect, Merker's first book as well. Berger, Printing and the Mind of Merker, 1: "The only item with the imprint of The Constance Press, named for Merker's wife . This was my first printing and design effort and the first thing I ever set into type on my own. I did this at the Typography Laboratory as my project in Harry Duncan's course in printing . Though I had no idea of being a printer, everyone who did a project at the Type Lab made up a press name for it, which will probably confuse bibliographers in the future. This was before the Stone Wall Press came into existence, obviously . One mistake I made was that I put the labels on the 50 copies with rubber cement, which lasted about a year before the labels fell off." Cornell and Princeton only in OCLC.
