Mr. P. Squiggle's Reward by Dennis McCalib
the alley printshop
Pasadena, CA
(c)1948
Dennis McCalib was known for his poetry and printing techniques. Much of his work has been collected in the Smithsonian Institution and elsewhere. His work has also been written about in various publications including Brown University.
Additionally, Mr. Squiggle was a well known Australian children's character who was on "the tele" from 1959 - 1999. Quite a run indeed. However, this booklet was published 11 years before the Australian character came into being, and it also predates any listing of any book that Dennis McCalib brought out. Making it quite unique. Additionally, it was signed by Mr. McCalib - making it extremely rare. And I found it at the bottom of a box of donated books at a local library. Karma can be kind.
