Nao falo Portuguese was launched with the generous assistance of Dr. Carlos Lemos at the Portuguese Consulate, on Toorak Road, Hawthorn East.

Each cover from this edition of ten varied, sometimes slightly, sometimes a great deal. Some came in patterned green silk with an indigo section running along the spine whilst others were bound using a heavy weight linen littered with large ochre-hued blooms. The title for this book loosely translates as 'I don't speak Portuguese', and, to this very day, sadly neither of us do.
