• "Apologia has been made as a limited edition accordion book during the winter and spring of 1997. The text by Barry Lopez originally appeared in Witness magazine in 1989. The twenty-three woodblocks were carved on poplar by Robin Eschner, Forestville, California, over a period of six years. Charles Hobson, San Francisco, designed and organized the edition, which has been printed letterpress on Stonehenge paper by Susan Acker at Feathered Serpent Press, Novato, California. The typefaces are Poppl-Laudatio Regular and Trajan. The woodblocks were editioned by Nora Pauwels at KALA Art Institute, Berkeley. John DeMerritt, Emeryville, California, hinged the text pages and bound the book in boards covered with Lami Li handmade paper and original USGS topographic maps of the State of Wyoming. Sandy Tilcock of Lone Goose Press, Eugene, Oregon, made the boxes, and has published the book ... Enclosed in a folder on the back cover is a tire-tread print made on an original USGS topographic map of Wyoming by Barry Lopez with the assistance of Sandy Tilcock, using the inked tire of Barry's Toyota 4-Runner, the vehicle driven on the journey from Oregon to Indiana chronicled here"--Colophon.
• Printed on one side of a strip folded accordion-style. The 23 woodcuts form a continuous image.
