The Elmwood Cafes

THE ELMWOOD CAFES is a small hardback coffee table style art book. It is a collection of colorful, printed reproductions of paper collages with fictional stories and poems inspired by nineteen cafes that existed together in a moment of time in the small, 2-block business district of Elmwood in Berkeley, California. It is a nice gift book.
