Item description from seller

Printed with black, silver and red inks on found, left over, and scrap papers that have accumulated at Caliban Press over time. In some cases over a lot of time. Japan, China, Nepal, India, Spain, France, Germany, England, Canada, Mexico, are all represented - particularly Papeterie St-Armand, Montreal. Decorated with the inevitable volvelle and much else. Semi-stiff red hand-made paper covers, titled in black, spiral-bound. One of 100 copies signed by the printer. A new copy. 'Conceived as a way to document a growing collection of wood type which eventually filled some 53 cases with some 75 fonts. Realizing there was too much type for a single volume showing alphabets, figures, punctuation marks, as well as words & phrases, I decided to devote the first volume to figures - which is what printers generally call numerals or numbers. Volume 2 is planned to be complete alphabets, with volume 3 for words & phrases.
