Specialists. There is no record of the long colloquies which took place between the founding fathers of CrossRoads Publishing, nor the long dreamy nights of investigation which must have preceded their collective action.

With their lightning canvassers [they] decided to team up again in New York City — considering themselves specialists in the rather peculiar votive trade of human forgery.
