Notes:

Special Collections has deluxe lettered copy "O", and is accompanied by a [1] sheet prospectus. IaU "The text of this book was composed and hand set by Gaylord Schanilec in Poliphilus & Bembo type, and printed by him on paper hand made at the Velké Losiny mill in the Czech Republic. The wood engravings were based on photographs taken by him using a 100 mm f/2.8 macro lens, and were printed on paper mould made at the Zerkall-Bütten mill in Germany. The engraving was done primarily with a tool that had been used at the Sander Wood Engraving Company of Chicago early in the 20th century. It is a multi-line tool that cuts 10 very fine lines at once, with a handle worn by the extensive use of an unknown hand. The tool fits perfectly in the hand of the engraver of this work, who claims a mystical connection with the unknown engraver. This book was produced in the United States of America during the plague of the orange pox. Printed in an edition of 120 copies, 94 of which are numbered, and 26 lettered A-Z. This is copy: ..."--Colophon. "Bound by Mark Hammonds, Keri Schroeder & Craig Jensen"--Binder's ticket, inside back cover.

Summary:

"The third book in a trilogy documenting one man's struggle with the reality of growing old. After a quarter century living in the rural midwest he moves to the city where he observes the isolation of urban life and the tenacious existence of the plants, birds, and animals living there--a roster of beings that includes himself. Bokeh: A Little Book of Flowers was preceded by A Little Book of Birds (MPS 2017), and Departures (Ninja Press, 2019)."--From publisher's website.
