"This book was conceived after hearing Michael Tilson Thomas conduct the San Francisco Symphony in Stravinsky's 'Persephone' (with Gide's text)"--Colophon.

"Printed with a Gocco printer. It is gone back into with Pigma micro pens and water colors. The typeface is Bosanova; the paper, Arches text wove. It is hand cut and assembled. The covers are cloth over board. Metallic leaf added"--Colophon.

Book consists of 3 hand-colored, die-cut garden scenes composed of 5 layers of paper to create a three-dimensional effect. Book is enclosed in a printed-cotton "envelope" with a small flowered button enclosure.
