A Thing You Can Hold in Your Hands

What is a map for? To orient, to translate something too big to see all at once into a thing you can hold in your hands -- a road, the sky, the places you went when you were young.

What is a diagram? An explanation, another kind of map, of a shifting pattern, of the underlying structure of a complicated thing. It is a way to show someone else the idea in your head.

New Price List

Effective March 2nd, 2017 August 31, 2017

As the Quarterly has unfolded, and as my ambitions for it have increased, it has become clear that it requires more time, more materials, and therefore more money to produce. It has also become clear that I chronically underestimate the cost of materials and time.

Here is the latest price list, which I dearly hope is the last change. If you have questions, please write to me at P.O. Box 725, Sherburne, NY 13460. Subscription requests can be sent, with payment, to the same address.
