About the Cover
The cover is a tax resistance poster aquired some time ago by one of the
editors. We would love to credit the source of this poster, but
unforutnately neither the publisher's nor the artist's name appears on it.
Printing and some cover artwork by Marshall Arts, 24 Industrial Ave, Wacol
