[ Covello, CA]: The Yolla Bolly Press, 1992. Folio. Open-sewn limp goat vellum over stiff wrappers. Illustrated with woodcut plates by Leonard Baskin. Fine, in publisher's cedar and bay laurel wood box. First edition in this format, with a commentary by John Fowles. From a total edition of 135 copies printed on Somerset paper, with illustrations printed from original woodblocks by Leonard Baskin, all signed by Baskin and Fowles, this is one of thirty-five deluxe copies, specially bound and boxed, with a separate suite of the nine woodcuts, each signed by the artist in the margin.

There were 300 copies of this book published; 200 were regular copies, 50 were deluxe copies with quarter leather binding and 50 others bound in full leather. The deluxe editions were issued with a set of proofs of the wood engravings and a set of proofs of the line-cut initials, with a large calligraphic manuscript initial beneath each image.

Description:
The editorial matter is set in Ehrhardt types, the contributors' list in Goudy Old Style & the poems in the attractive Hyperion, designed by Berthold Wolpe. Bound in black cloth with a bird blind embossed on front cover, title in silver on front and spine. 10 1/4 x 7 inches. Unpaginated. Number 70 of an edition limited to 180 numbered copies. A collection of 22 woodblock prints on a single theme, "illustrated" by poems of various authors. Spaul's images are taken from life in our urban surroundings. For, like the fox, there are few birds which are not urban. The creators of the book wished to accompany Spaul's images with poetry written by authors who tried to write about birds as birds, rather than just using them as vehicles to carry human characteristics. Fine.
