The book measures 10 1/2" x 8 1/8"

bound in paper over boards with a suede spine or in an Alicia binding and
printed on Roycroft handmade paper. The limited edition of 100 was printed on
Imperial Japan Vellum, bound 3/4 Levant and specially illuminated. Some of the
100 were also bound in 3/4 tooled leather according to McKenna. The book above

somewhat reminiscent of a Miriam binding but not exactly. The press work was by
Otto Franz and the borders and designs were by Samuel Warner.
