"This book was printed from hand-set "Libra" type and wooden blocks with an 1882 Albion hand-press. The paper is an all-rag handmade ... from the Papeterie Saint-Gilles (Québec). All work, including design, engraving, typesetting, printing, binding, and block-printing the linen covers, was done by the bookwright. The slipcases were made by the bookcrafters ... an edition of fifty-five copies (of which the first five are hors de commerce) ..."--T.p. verso. |
