Back in 1987, Islip, New York, had a 3,168-ton problem: garbage. The town had mounds of the stuff and nowhere left to bury it. So Gino Stroffolino, a guy in the trash business, came up with what he thought was a brilliant plan: the garbage barge. A mostly true account from a smelly time not so long ago. Author's note. Photographs and explanation of how the art was created. The full-color illustrations are photographs of hand-built three-dimensional sets. Pen-and-ink line art.
