"Letterpress printed, accordion-folded tunnel book with signature signature. Limited edition of 18." --Artist's website. "Never mind her grandfather's wood type, Baruch-Schocken Hebrew type, reduction linocuts, and ancient Caslon 471 hand set and letterpress printed, hovering over Somerset Velvet soft white paper in the year it finally rained in California. What are you hungry for? ©2019 Alisa Golden, never mind the press www.neverbook.com [signed] Alisa Golden." --Colophon. "Supported by the Isaac Anolic Jewish Book Art Award." --Title page. Special Collections has copy number 10/18, signed by the artist. IaU "I've had nearly a year now to birdwatch in the Bible and investigate who I found there. The three-book series to which I committed are coming in for a landing. One copy of Bearded Vulture is bound, so therefore, I can finally share it. I wrote some of the text for it first, and I knew the form it would take, but Quail and Raven jostled for my attention first and second. Seager/Gray Gallery in Mill Valley will be showing all three books in October, along with Letters of Transit: Bird Passports, and The Third Light, and a few other works in Gallery 3, for a small solo show: Birds of the Book. I'm working on a catalogue for it. More on that later."--Artist's website.

Accordion folded artist's book with single signature of [4] pages attached to upper board; [2] centerfold panels feature a reduction linocut of a group of quails printed in yellow, grey, brown, and white and surrounded by hand-stiched border in brown thread. The righthand section attached to lower board is an accordion-folded tunnel featuring three quail cut-outs (two male, one female) printed in various shades of brown, grey, and white; includes two passages written by Alisa Golden about quails flying, printed in brown and light blue ink. Includes a passage from Numbers 11:31 in English and Hebrew; Hebrew word "selav"; front signature has artist's fictional interpretation of the Bible story. Quail illustrations are based on California quail, similar to the migratory quail mentioned in the Bible.
