  note: "This book was designed and (except for the letterpress pages) set in type by Robert Bringhurst. The foundry type ... was handset in Stamford, Connecticut by Jerry Kelly. The Linotype metal was set by Davin Kuntze at the Woodside Press in Brooklyn, Jim Daggs at Ackley Publishing in Ackley, Iowa, and Michael Babcock at Linotypesetting in Allston, Massachusetts. The main text and illustrations were printed by five-color offset lithography at C&C (Zhōnghuá shāngwù cǎisè yìnshuā) in Shenzhèn, Guǎngdong, on paper from the Yùlóng (Jade Dragon) mill in Lóngkǒu, Shāndōng. The leterpress portions were printed in Stamford, Connecticut, by Jerry Kelly on Mohawk Superfine, made in Waterford, New York. The principal type faces are Aldus Buchschrift and Palatino Sans. The type on the title page is foundry Palatino, Zapf Renaissance italic, and Aldus. There are three hundred copies, each numbered and signed by the author, and an additional twenty-five copies hors de commerce, lettered B-Z."--Colophon.
