Fixin’ To is a handmade book written by people from Texas, explaining a little bit about our Texas pride in response to an academic prompt to create a book on culture. It is a collection of edited short stories and thoughts ranging from crazy huge bugs to the life-long journeys of people born elsewhere now living in the Great State.
It is thirty-two pages with two folded maps held in bands on a middle spread. The covers, maps, and bands were all screenprinted with a 255 mesh. Text pages were printed on a Xerox Phaser 7700DN.
