Here are two old Almanacs I later combined into one for the book. The black and white one predates the color drawing by a few years. Allen's Mink Yard is named in honor of my then-editor, the great Henry Allen, whose family has no connection to the mink ranching business, as far as I know.
I've lived around DC for 48 years, practically most of my life, so you can trust that anything I say about the city is true.
