"A relief printed book using pressure printing, letterpress and inkjet. The text is a set of 50 short, sometimes very short, stories of events from my growing up. It started as a remembrance of my mother and expanded out to include my family, my neighborhood, my elementary school and my nervous stomach. The pressure printed images included relate to certain of the stories. Bound using the 'Secret Belgian' binding, a binding with an interesting sewing pattern at the spine."--Artist's Website.

"The text was printed on Arches Text Wove in Gill Sans using letterpress and inkjet. The images were pressure printed with hand cut stencils. Endsheets and the cover paper is Hannemeuhler [sic] Ingres Camel. The binding is a historical binding currently referred to as the Secret Belgian binding. Hedi Kyle gave this binding it's [sic] name based on the location of the recently discovered example."--Colophon.

Sewing exposed on cover and spine.
