It is the embodiment of a book. Much care has gone into the making of this tome. The cover and spine, a beautiful dark blue as if it were taken directly from the night sky, show a silver crescent moon, stars, comets and setting (or rising) sun complete with crepuscular rays done in three dimensions with a nearly hand tooled precision and style. Each page is attractively printed on a letterpress making deep impressions on the page with each word. You can easily feel each curve and stroke of the fonts. Even the black & white illustrations (which by today’s standards are woefully inadequate) are a joy to behold. This is what book making is all about! ( )
