The colophon: "Utilizing Butti & Novarese's Nova Augustea hand-set with G. Trump's Trump Mediaeval, dampened, hand-made Fabriano Pace paper, Fairview paste papers made by Delight Lewis in the 1930s and a Vandercook 215 press, this edition has been designed, printed and bound by Leonard E. Seastone at The Tideline Press. Jack Fitterer, James H. Fraser, Sibylle Fraser & Renée I. Weber have assisted with the project. The Pace paper as well as the plum-colored, mould-made cover paper have survived since the closing of the Golden Hind Press in 1955. Limitation of the edition was based upon the amount of Fairview paper extant. The edition is 70 copies, of which you hold number [proof]."
