You've probably heard that Harp is kaput, which is a drag from any number of perspectives, but one of them is that the stuff that they haven't published will never be published. I'm going to put it here. You'll have to squint a little to imagine the photos and glossy paper and neat typefaces, but you're all imaginative, creative people. I'm sure you can do it.RIP Harp.
