Description: This issue of Gleaner Zine focuses on the life and work of Leonardo Da Vinci, drawing from personal anecdotes, works of art, pop culture references (such as the Da Vinci Code), and mathematical analyses. Accompanying articles on Da Vinci and the practice of gleaning, which is to use small samples/scraps to create art, are elaborate collages that often contain stickers or taped-on slips of paper, pieces of memorabilia, or general ephemera. Advice on gleaning is given, as well as several sample scraps for the reader's own project. There is a letters section and a mail-order catalog of craft items that can be purchased from the transgender author.
Notes: Additional zines included: Special goodies from special contributors, Where can I find Gleaner ephemera, and Brown paper [something].

Cover is affixed to 9x12 folded over envelope. Extra zines are within the opening side of envelope.
