Title also in Hebrew. "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. Front has cutout for a letterpress printed, wood type V. Japanese book cloth is shimmery copper/navy blue.
