About This Item
Pomona, NY: Kelly-Winterton Press, 2006. Hard Cover. Fine. Hard Cover. 1 of 99 copies.

This is the first book printed in book designer Jerry Kelly's first typeface, called "Rilke" after this publication. Handbound by Judi Conant in marbled multi-colored paper covered boards with a white paper title label to spine. Clean and bright. Quarto. In fine condition. 43 pages. PRI/020323.
