"Dieu Donne Papermill produced the 100% cotton handmade papers. Pyramid Atlantic Center for Book Arts, Val Lucas produced the letterpress nameplates. Capella Book Arts at Pyramid Atlantic produced the sleeves and box. MAC Cosmetics, with it[s] established reputation for serving women of all colors, were used to create the color palette" -- Colophon.
