Limited to 26 copies only. The Lettered Edition is over 300 pages and is letterpress printed on Mohawk Superfine Eggshell 118gsm paper.
The book boards are covered in a tan deer leather with a beautiful wraparound design by Lixin Yin of Fitz and Nosy stamped in three colours. The spine is rounded and all three edges hand coloured a dark brown/green/tan. The head and tailbands are a dark green with a brown ribbon.
