The types set here are Garamond 156, Franklin Gothic Condensed, and Florentine Bold. They are printed onto Somerset Book, with camel colored Hahnemuhle Ingres fly and end sheets, and the covers are Mohawk Superfine. Sarah Creighton did the binding of the edition, that is limited to no more than 100 copies."--Colophon.
