Abstract

Colophon: This book of poems by Cynthia Ozick was designed by Robert Tauber and produced by Russell McKnight at the Logan Elm Press in Columbus, Ohio. The title page and three other images by Sidney Chafetz were printed on a Vandercook no. 219 Press from hand-inked linoleum blocks onto dampened papers handmade at the press from cotton and abaca fiber using stencilled pigmented pulps. The text was printed on a Vandercook No. 4 Press off Van Dijck monotypes composed by M & H Type in San Francisco, California. The text paper was handmade from cotton and abaca fiber with a special set of watermarks designed and cast by Ralph Rosenblu. The cover papers were handmade from Russian Hemp fiber. Harry Campbell designed the binding. Sandy Mundy sewed each copy and doil-stamped the covers using cast metal letterforms drawn by Ann Alaia Woods.
