All Done But None (Careless Press): An irresolute, yet humorously spirited Carol Es creates a new handmade book about indecision and confusion, while offering up true-to-life stories as various options for the book's ultimate direction: no place. These miserable anecdotes and ironic childhood tales include bad dreams, avoiding school, playing drums in a band that toured with Pauly Shore, revelations of a dysfunctional family life, and rape.

Each book is painstakingly handwritten and illustrated in watercolor and ink: each book an original work of art with a unique page in each, a copper plate etching, drypoint print, Solarplate print, and letterpressed handmade end papers. The edition is hand bound with custom stamping on the cover and spine. All Done But None was recently added to the National Museum of Women in the Arts by the legendary Ann Savage.
