First Edition. First edition limited to 75 copies; 8vo, accordion-fold, extending 38"; pp. [12]; original printed blue wrappers and pictorial dust jacket by Julio Granda; spine lightly sunned, else a fine copy. From the library of Allan Kornblum, poet, fine press printer, and publisher who founded Coffee House Press. "The book w…as printed on a single length of Japanese paper. I did not want to have to cut the Japanese paper to print it, but the Vandercook SP15 Proof Press's bed would not accommodate a single lengthwise sheet. To solve this dilemma I prefolded the paper into the French door accordion structure before printing on it. This proved to be a bit tricky in terms of registration and required several extra press runs to pull it off, but I was able to accomplish my goal. Also, I printed the illustrations in 4 subtly different shades of blue (as per the artist's instructions) in addition to the other ink colors. The original instructions I gave to the artist were that I wanted her illustration to work off my French door binding structure concept so that people could turn the pages in any order and still get a complete visual experience. Also, I wanted the book to work visually fully extended" (artist's statement per Vamp & Tramp Booksellers, 2017). "[H]andset in Optima and printed on Japanese Kozo. The paper wrapper was made by the printer with assistance from Penny McElroy in adhering the glassy embellishments. Katherine Kuehn's shattered crystals and hearts shower down and around this small accordion book" (colophon). Letterpress printed dry. Illustrations printed from zinc plates in five colors. The sheet is sewn into the cover with silver thread.
