John Craig's use of white space has ... been critical, and the asymmetric imposition of type and images is based upon his precise layouts. The resulting double-page spreads can be seen almost as a series of stage sets, introducing us to the often undiscovered delights of a city which he has visited regularly for the past twenty years. The French-fold binding style is a new departure for us. The pages are left folded at the top edge, enabling us to use a lightweight Zerkall mould-made paper, specially hot-pressed to give an extra sheen for the engravings, and allowing us to print throughout on the smooth side of the paper only. The book, all copies of which are bound in leather, opens beautifully. Four of the engravings are printed in colour on lightweight Korean and Japanese hand-made papers, and tipped in. $c Publisher. 500 $a "285 copies printed in Centaur & Arrighi types on a special making of Zerkall mould-made paper. 175 are quarter-bound in Pirate leather with printed paper sides; 60 are half-bound in Oasis leather, with a portfolio of prints; 40 are bound in inlaid leathers to a design by John Craig, with a fuller portfolio of prints; and 10 copies are left as unbound sheets.
