Notes: "The question here, in this body of work by the students of Archetype Press, Art Center College of Design, is whether there can be a crossing over of the methods used in making images, both words and pictues, and the locus of one of twentieth century's great works of literature, James Joyce's Ulysses. To solve this problem each designer selected a brief fragment taken from Ulysses, developed a typographic arrangement of the chosen text then developed a personal image that comported to the phrase. ... The assembled image was fax copied. The copy was then converted into a polymer plate to be printed by letterpress at Archetype Press"--Introd.

"This book is limited to fifty copies. It is printed in twenty eight colors on Kitakata and Mohawk Superfine letterpress paper using foundry and wood type and polymer plates"--Colophon.
