- Description is exactly "Full leather binding sewn on five cords with boards laced-in and edge-to-edge hinged leather doublures. Undyed calfskin, selected for its smoothness. The calfskin is hand dyed in multiple layers, using spirit and aniline pigments. The palette is predominantly green, red, and yellow tones. Portions of Walker's silhouettes, and a selection of Morrison's poems have been applied using reverse transfer onto the leather. Three colors of gold leaf have been applied, sanded and burnished with final embossing using a texture etched plate. Double core end bands are embroidered using red and chartreuse Italian silk thread on harp sting cores. Winner: Helen Warren DeGolyer Award for American Bookbinding"
