Nacogdoches, TX: LaNana Creek Press, 2009. First edition, #9 of 20 copies. 24x33cm, unpaginated. Photo and black and white woodcuts by Charles Jones after drawings by Corinne Jones. Signed by both artists at the colophon. Half tan Harmatan goat leather, brown book cloth over boards with silhouette illustrations of crows. Few scuffs to leather, perhaps from binding, else fine.
