Description: Two octavo vols. (20)pp., accordionfold; (9)pp. booklet. One of twenty-six deluxe copies, signed and lettered by the author and with custom housing by Dennis Ruud. The edition is the tenth in the MCBA's annual commissioned series, here with ten illustrations contributed to the accordionfold by ten different artists, six of whom have signed and/or lettered their work. The artists are Amos Paul Kennedy, Esther K. Smith & Dikko Faust, Gayle Hayes Hachen, Michael Fallon, Katherine Kuehn, Karen Kunc, Susan Nees, Jim Lee, Lynne Avadenka, and Jim Sherridan. Hayes' fantastic and imaginative text is divided evenly across the ten versos, and each section begins with a large sublimated initial printed in gray, green, or lavender. The second volume sets the same text in chapbook format, printed in black with green initials and titling, and lavender sublimated illustrations done by Michael Lizama. Booklet bound in black wrappers with upper edge simulating a suburban skyline; when opened, the book has a pop-up satellite dish. Upper cover sports lamp-motif stamped in variegated silver. Accordion-fold repeats skyline design as upper cover, with title sheet inset. Housed together in chemise, which has a handy leather pull at head to aid in sliding it into and out of Ruud's delux box, wooden with pseudo-Colonial door facade. Fine.
