Limited to an edition of 150 copies, this book is the 119th title from the Perishable Press. Printed during "one of the most unusual springtimes in any memory," it was handset by Walter Hamady in authentic Spectrum (with Diethelm caps for the title), and printed on a Vandercook proofing press. The text paper is Sekishu and the cover stock is Hamady's own Shadwell hand-made.

Special Collections currently holds fifty-eight titles from the Perishable Press. Walter Hamady's Perishable Press was a principle focus of the 1995 UWM Library exhibit The Contemporary Fine Press.
