Colorful Fortune. Harold Budd. HM & Moonliner Books, 2009. Harold’s first published collection of poetry.

A sheet of Reg Lissel’s semi-transparent vellum paper was printed with two of Harold’s arabesque drawings from the interior. This sheet was used to make a limp case lined with a painted sheet. Slipcase covered in painted paper. See this page. Issue price $350
