It was produced on an iMac computer using QuarkXpress and Adobe Illustrator. A clean copy was printed at high resolution from an Epson 1160 Color Stylus printer and then taken to Kinko's for duplication onto Hammermill text stock (11x17" cut to 11-81/2", so that the grain direction parallels the spine). Covers are Fabriano "Raw Sienna," individually folded and window cut; the text block is hand sewn in with waxed linen thread. Depending on availability, Canson Mi Tientes may be substituted for the Fabriano covers.
