Initially presented by Massillon Museum in 2018, the first edition of hardcover books served as the Moniker: Identity Lost and Found exhibit catalog. It sold out immediately upon release. The second edition is in softcover format, and available at an unbeatable price from Burn Barrel Press.
This release is in conjunction and cooperation with the Black Butte Center For Railroad Culture and its upcoming exhibit, End Of The Line, held on June 9th, 2022, which is also the book’s publish date.
