There are 250 copies printed with 200 pages of text.
Every book is bound in a leather cover in which there is a traditional scar tattoo pressed.
On this way the purport of the book becomes beside an intellectual also a tangible experience. As the colour of the skin of the Papua's along the south coast of New Guinea vary from light to deep brown, until nearly black, the covers also range between these. Beside an own designed map there are 12 prints made by Fons Bloemen.
