All edges gilt. Sewn-in dark brown silk ribbon page marker. Interior pages are bright and clean. Binding retains some crispness. Author's signature upon title page appears to printed rather than handwritten (publisher's statement on page v evades this distinction simply stating that "Each copy bears the signature of the author").

LoC catalog designates this limited edition with ISBN 0931480280 but that number is not found on either the copyright page or rear colophon (trade edition has different ISBN).
