Catch-22/M*A*S*H

I copied the image and mounted it on a cutout board. It's held to the pocket with a magnet. I like interactive books. The title, "M*A*S*H" is stitched onto the spine.

A traditional leather spine for Catch-22 references the leather aviator helmets worn in WWII.

Recently I entered a binding into the Pyramid Atlantic MASH UP show because the theme fit perfectly with a binding I’d had in mind for a while. As usual, I needed a deadline. A friend retiring from the Army provided the uniform fabric. The dos-a-dos binding combines Richard Hooker’s M*A*S*H with Joseph Heller’s CATCH-22—a Catch-22/MashUp.
