The design of the dust jacket and 40 black and white grainy photographic images were provided by Tom Phillips to illustrate Willliams' poems. The book and its typography were designed by Donato Cinicolo 3 who employed a large variety of typefaces including those from a typewriter. Jonathan Williams also contributed notes on the poems as well as an afterword. A slip inserted into the book states that as a result of a disagreement between the publishers and one of the authors over the book design, the publishers decided not to publish it. Before this decision was reached, 120 copies were bound and distributed to friends of the Trigram Press. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
