One sheet of Hahnemuhle paper, reversible accordion-folded into four double leaves and a final double leaf, half mounted, becoming the paste-down endpaper; when turned over, the accordion-folded sheet is printed in the opposite direction on the back of the same double leaves, thus with text in opposite directions front and back of the accordion-fold, and no spine. Original prints pulled by the artist. Covers of hand-marbled Venetian papers in red, black, and gold over boards, inserted in black slipcase with Venetian paper accents, title in letterpress in black on marbled paper insert. Text in Vendome Romain and printed on an Stanhope press by Mark Lintott.
