- "The black hole’s conception followed many years of daily hairball collecting"--Colophon.
- "This book was letterpress printed ... on hand-made paper. The wood covers were graciously cut and donated by Jim Kusz. Real parchment was used for the book’s band and the hairball drawing was burned into the cover. Without the help of Edi Berton the text would not have looped around the holes ... There are 45 books in the edition"--Colophon.
