Brand-New! All About Revlis!
Starlite by Revlis is the third installment in the Space Age Christmas Trees series of books, which includes The Evergleam Book 60th Anniversary Deluxe Edition.
The capstone essay, an homage to the pioneering work of Chester and Helen Hankus and their Revlis Company, was independently written and copyrighted in January-February 2020 as a stand alone work registered as USCO Certificate Number TX 8-990-252, but publication was stymied due to the worldwide pandemic.
Now, for 2021 and just in time for the most wonderful time of the year, we proudly present the brand-new complete work Starlite by Revlis! Welcome Christmas, bring your cheer!
