The bookbinder, Georges Leroux, inserted several blank pages of thick handmade paper to enhance the width of the book prior to binding. The title of the book appears on the bookbinding in inlaid copper letters on the front and back covers as thin, elongated letters. The calligraphic text is made with brown and black inks of different intensities so as to appear old rather than contemporary. Interspersed in the text are images drawn with colored inks and watercolors. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
