Photocopied on white paper with a black border; hand illustrated, some color. Cover is collaged white and blue paper with crossing black lines. A slip case completely encloses the book with four flaps. Its whole background is a collage of photocopied handwriting on brown paper. The left flap forms the upper cover, and has a blue paper with black crossing lines; a hole torn in the blue paper shows a yellow pencil stub glued in place. The lower cover has the same blue and back paper collaged with a lamp that has a pencil as its wick. The right flap is collaged with blue and black paper, with the title and author's name mounted and painted with blue and orange. Inside the slip case is a large sketch of two blue people sitting back to back, each holding a leaf, pencil, and hammer. Between their heads is a crescent moon made of pencils, forming the upper flap. The lower flap is small and unadorned.
