Incorporated into the ledger pages are found photographs, vintage fabrics, and prose from women writers ... The ledger pages were scanned and separated in Photoshop, then reassembled for printing of the red and blue rules by letterpress--a technique that preserved the steel-nibbed pen writing of the original ledger pages, which were then printed from magnesium plates ... Designed and printed in collaboration with Philip Gallo at the Hermetic Press"--Prospectus.
