• "A Colophon: This book is the product of ten students one translator, E. R. Peterson and James Trissel ... This is the first book we have printed on the recently acquired Vandercook IV, and all printing was done from polymer plates. I hope it is clear that it is the plate that allowed us this kind of license in the organization of type for the letterpress ... The ten students who lent time over this academic year are: David Barnett, Teresa Cohn, Diego-Alonso Garcia, Kjersten Hayes, Sara Langer, Holly Lewis, Kate Palmer, Caroline Seigel, Jennifer Simon, and Liese Stevens ... involved in and in many cases directly responsible for the composition, presswork and binding. Karen Pardue has lent some professional assistance to the choice and execution of the binding ... The paper is Arches Cover and the book was printed in sixty copies, fifty of which will be numbered as part of the published edition. This is number __.
