An account of obsolete machinery and outmoded business planning Chris Oliveros's The Envelope Manufacturer documents the hardships and gradual disintegration of the career of the owner of an independent small business. The book begins as the head of the manufacturing company is already deep in financial straits: he struggles to deal with a series of late payments and dwindling orders and finds ways to keep his company running by perilously deferring certain invoices. Ultimately, the pressures of his role begin to have an effect on him psychologically; he starts to talk to himself and occasionally cannot distinguish the difference between reality and his imaginings. Even his personal life suffers, as his wife becomes disillusioned with the detached, dispassionate man he has become. Set in the mid-twentieth century, just before the end of the period when most goods were still produced domestically, The Envelope Manufacturer chronicles the gradual demise of a small company as it struggles to adapt to a changing economic landscape. Published by Chris Oliveros; distributed by Drawn & Quarterly.

Name on the Envelope By: Michael M. Dowd Everyone has a story and for Michael M. Dowd his story is one of discovery—about who he is, how his life began, and the many twists and turns that led him to a family he never knew he had. Like most people, he experienced his share of happiness, sadness, pain, and suffering. But unlike most people, part of Michael’s life remained a mystery. It wasn’t until he embarked on a journey to learn more about his birth mother that Michael began to realize that he spent most of life unaware that he had another family. The Name on the Envelope is about Michael’s journey to learn more about his family, but it is also about his reflections on his life and how our experiences shape who we are and who we become.
