"The text was digitally set in Italian Electric. It was letterpress printed from polymer plates by Eileen Madden at ChiPress. The paper is commercial cover stock."--Colophon.

"Celebrates the flora that has played a role in winter holidays for centuries. In contrast with the excess of contemporary seasonal traditions, the style of this book is minimal; the palette is spare, the baubles are few, and the text on each page is composed using the haiku's 17 stark syllables ... Shawn Sheehy concepted, engineered, designed and assembled this book"--Artist's website.

No. 2 of an edition of 50 numbered copies; signed by the artist.
