The Two Volumes of Synergies

Photos of a private version of my collaborations, printed by someone in 2008 who then transferred the stories that were shown off-line into these two volumes that he owns. Only two copies  of each volume exist, his copy and the one he kindly sent me out of the blue in 2008.
