Text set in Garamond roman, and set on thick cream paper. Illustrated with seven wood engravings by Larry Thompson, chiefly printed to the margins. Limited Edition of 142 copies, of which this is No. 81. Signed, and numbered in pencil by Winona Linn and Hugh Barclay on the colophon page. A lovely work. See OCLC #910853934. Fine. "We have chosen to print 142 copies divided as follows: Three copies marked bP 1-3 are intended for the bP Nichol chapbook awards. Four copies marked hc 1-4, hors commerce, are for those associated with the production of the book. Two copies are marked LD1-2 and are intended for legal deposit with Archives and Library Canada". (First Colophon). "I have set this text in 14pt. Garamond Roman and Italic and the title in 18pt. Garamond. All has been impressed in St. Armand's cream mould made paaper [sic]. The wood engravings are by Larry Thompson and as such this book is a collaborative effort between Thee Hellbox Press and Greyweathers Press by evidence of two ISBNs and two colophons. Winona Linn and her father Dr. Linn have served as proof readers, typesetters and general apprentices during the production of this book." (Second Colophon).
