"This edition of Ernst Collin's The Bone folder was designed, printed and bound by Don Rash with, as always, support and assistance from Elaine Rash. The text paper is Hahnemühle Biblio, printed on the Boss Dog Press Washington handpress. The types are Monotype's digital Walbaum for the text and BDP FritzGotische v.2 for the titles. The text was composed using Adobe InDesign and converted into polymer plates by Boxcar Press, Syracuse, NY. Inks are Charbonnel Litho Crayon Black and Graphic Chemical and Ink's Hoosier Red. The digital images were scanned from the original negatives and printed onto Canson 210 gram Rag Photographique paper by Light Work, a non-profit photographic organization based at Syracuse University. Each of the 100 copies for distribution and 20 hors commerce copies have been signed by the translator/bibliographer and the printer: Peter D. Verheyen and Don Rash. This edition has been issued in three binding states. There are 26 special copies bound in quarter leather with pastepaper sides and gold titling, designated as copies A-Z. There are 54 regular copies bound in full pastepaper over boards with paper spine and front board labels, numbered 1-54. All of the bound copies are housed in pastepaper covered in slipcases. The remaining 20 copies are in sheets for binders, and have Roman numeration (I-XX)"--Colophon.
