"To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the CODEX Book Fair and Symposium, the Codex Foundation commissioned 26 printers and book artists from eight countries to contribute a single signature to a printers' assembling and exchange entitled Alchimie du Verbe. The project, designed to support the work of the Foundation, is a compendium of the printer's art ranging from examples of fine press printing and typographic experimentation to the avant-garde -- an assembling representative of the collective genius of the CODEX International Book Fair."--Introduction.

"The wrapper for each contribution was printed letterpress at Peter Koch Printers on Kawashi paper supplied by Hiromi Paper, and the collection is housed in a variable edition of clamshell boxes designed and produced by John DeMerritt Bookbinding in Emeryville, California. Alchimie du Verbe/Assembling is issued in an edition of twenty-six copies lettered A to Z for distribution to the participants, forty numbered copies offered for sale, and four copies designated hors de commerce."--Colophon.
