Spectrum type was used throughout on Kitikata, Sekishu, and Rives papers; Covers were handmade by the printer and the amazing Walter Tisdale. In an edition of 25 this is number 109 x 116 mm. Soft folded cover sewn to single signature. Joan Flasch Artists' Book Collection. Barbara Tetenbaum and Walter Tisdale are UW-Madison alumni. OCLC 7728092. WorldCat records three copies worldwide (Chicago, Vermont Howe, Wisconsin). The illustrations were created using stencils, string, and other found objects during the printing process. This hands-on, experimental approach to image-making is a hallmark of the artist's style and a key feature of the book's visual appeal.
