12.5 inches by 6.75 inches. 36 pages. Hardcover. Book Condition: Fine. From the publisher: "The type is hand set Van Dijck with Felix Titling for the display. It is printed letterpress on dampened Barcham Green paper, handmade in 1986 at the Hayle Mill (now closed) in Maidstone, Kent in England. Two watermarks can be seen throughout, one of which includes the date. The text was printed on a Vandercook Universal I flatbed proof press. The photographs were printed digitally by Karen Skove Chu using UltraChrome K3 inks. They are printed on Japanese Asuka washi, then cut, and tipped in by hand. The boards are quarter leather using a forest green French goatskin and a decorative black English paper that glows with the luminescence of a raven's wing. The text is sewn into an inner cover of pure Belgian flax, handmade at Cave Paper in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Each of the one-of-a-kind sheets reflects the subtle interplay of browns, blues and blacks as the sheet is dyed multiple times, making each inner cover unique. The design, presswork, binding, and photography are by Carolee Campbell at Ninja Press with the assistance of Farida Sunada in the bindery. The edition is comprised of 75 numbered copies, signed by both poet and photographer with an additional 8 lettered hors commerce." This is copy number 28. SIGNED by the poet, Dennis Phillips, and the photographer, Carolee Campbell. All elements of this artist's book are in pristine condition.
