This book is a limited edition with only 500 copies in the first printing. POTPOURRI OF THE MIND is a beautifully bound hardcover book.

Everything is first class, including heavy paper stock and gold leaf printing on the spine. A second book, which will also be a limited edition, is now nearing completion. This book will contain roughly eighty new poems and the graphic design of the second book will be such that the two books will look like part of a set. A third book for the set is planned.
