"This book was conceived as an exercise in exploring the visual qualities of text and the narrative potential of imagery."--Introd.

"This book was carefully printed by neophyte letterpress printers on four Vandercook presses at the Scripps College Press. ... We printed on ... Somerset Satin, Rives BFK and ... Mohawk Superfine papers. ... We were inspired ... to choose a purple bookcloth and exotic purple and black banana paper for the dos à dos binding. This is copy ... in an edition of 84 copies."--Colophon.
