Interpreted by Zahra Partovi, whom also provided the calligraphy. Printed by Allethaire Press & Wild Carrot Letterpress. Composed by The Shagbark Press. Etchings by Annette Senneby. With a line-shaped etching extending over 28 pages. Printed on Velin Rives Johannot.

The book is housed in a custom clamshell box crafted by David Bourbeau of the Thistle Bindery with steel plates from Hector Perez embedded in the covers. A pristine copy.…
