Notes: The type is handset Sampson and Libra printed on dampened flax paper handmade especially for this book by Bridge O'Malley at Cave Paper. The horoscope as well as the signs and symbols throughout, are drawn by Carolee Campbell and printed from photopolymer plates. Additional symbols are applied by hand using pure earth pigments. The boards are covered in flax paper hand coated with a mixture of ochre pigment and fine volcanic pumice. An enclosure for the book - a wrap-around chemise with triangular green leather closure - along with a chapbook, containing a legend for the symbols, titled Glossary of Signs and Symbols, completes the edition.
