  • "Designed and printed by Robin Price ... Gerald Lange of the Bieler Press in Marina del Rey provided digital composition and served as typographical consultant ... The text face is 14 point Post Antiqua, in a digitized version based on the 1930s Berthold typeface originally designed by Herbert Post. Variants of the face were created for figures, small caps, and italic characters. Oldřich Menhart's Manuscript was used for the chapter headings and titling, and was hand set from metal type by Robin Price and digitally scanned. Paragraph symbols are from Linotype-Hell's Clairvaux typeface. The book was letterpress printed from photopolymer plates made by Patrick Reagh. The text sheet is a handmade paper from the Velké Losiny mill in the Czech Republic. The paper used for the covers, endsheets, and case is handmade Tamayo black from the De Ponte mill in Mexico"--Colophon.

Barbara Benish began work on this series of linoleum cuts in ... 1992 at the studio of the Worm family in Branik, Prague ... Preliminary proofs ... were printed at Rachot and the Graphics Atelier at A.V.U. in Prague. Final proofs were done by Robert Dansby at Xero in Hollywood ... They were slightly reduced in size and reproduced as photoengravings by the Peterson Engraving Company.
