First/Last Magazine

The brief: To illustrate across a double-page spread the first and last lines of a randomly-selected book. The images could be drawn, constructed, photographed, written...anything goes, as long as it was black and white and represented the text somehow.

My 'first and last' were taken from Trout Fishing in America by Richard Brautigan, a book I have never read. We weren't encouraged to research the books we chose if we knew nothing about them, the idea being that we created an original untainted response.
