"Here is the fade-out volume of an unforseen series begun in 1976. It was printed on our single-owner, all-manual, Vandercook SP-15 in more than 285 press-runs utilizing a numerosity of colors, typefaces and papers--hand, mould and machine made. In addition to the usual lay-ons of languid letterpressing, there is an affluence of unorthodox applications. This volume has been collaged, perforated, notched, rubberstamped, drilled, ticket-punched, numbered, signed, grommeted, scribed, ear-tattooed, ponce-wheeled, time-clocked, dog-eared, embossed, shorthanded, corner-rounded, elliptically trimmed and three genuine stubs. In addition, there are 79 illustrations. Fully footnoted, this first and only edition has been kept to a tightly snaffled 108 uniquely variegated copies. Handsewn/boud in Chicago by Scott Kellar in Italian burnt Umbrian cloth over boards with a rondelle/cameo (of the printer) over the spine in a dark Delft blue."--Publisher's prospectus.
