Almost Anonymous alias Bob Matheny - "Hook 'em Cow - Old Cigar Box Labels and New Writs," exhibition title image.
Image of the original Hook 'em Cow book in it's oversized cigar box which has a compartment for cigar paraphernalia and a spider hole for Cuban cigars.

Selected pages from my unpublished and unbound book "Hook'em Cow - Old Cigar Box Labels, Old Segar Bands & New Writs" first shown at the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library in La Jolla, California, November 23, 1996 thru January 11, 1997.

The original 226 pages in the book are 11x14 inches in size and are contained in an oversized cigar box which has a compartment for cigar paraphernalia  and a spider hole for  Cuban cigars.

In addition to the cigar labels, there are a short film (How to Smoke a Cigar) and an audio track (Hook 'Em Cow) that accompany the show.  Click the links on the menu bar below.
