Privately printed in an edition of 50 copies. Front hinge with a small crack, spine faded, else a near fine copy.
From the colophon: "This little book was produced as a therapeutic outlet at the end of school, Aug '81. The type is Caledonia, set on the old worn-out Model 35 Linotype at the ArtHouse Press in the Graphic Design department in the McKnight Art Center at Wichita State University. 'Tho Mr. Saxe is a book designer (in fairness to him), he had nothing to do with the design of this piece. All but Mr Saxe's fine writing was done by Bill Jackson, proprietor of the 4 Ducks Press: the writing, typesetting, illustrations (except for the old engravings of the presses), presswork and binding. Mr Saxe furnished the material for the catalog cover, and the portrait of Mr Golding."
