"Consta de trescientos ejemplares numerados, iluminados a mano" -- Colophon.

Foreword by Alfredo Zaldívar on front flap includes remarks about Mexican poet Sabines.

The covers are formed by a removable folded banner of brown craft paper with a yarn handle at the top (edge of front flap).  The banner/cover is attached to the book only with a heavy cord tied around the spine and through the center of the text block. On one side of the banner, inside the cover, a reproduction of the handwritten text of Sabines' poem "Me encanta Dios" is mounted along with white paper cutouts with reproductions of line drawings. The other side of the banner, forming the front and back covers, is decorated with mounted paper collages with some hand painting. The front cover illustration includes a reproduction of a hand drawn portrait of Sabines with a whimsical land/seascape under cotton "clouds." Several illustrations show a robed, long-haired, bearded male figure with a halo; on the back cover the figure holds the Ediciones Vigía lantern.
