The test plates were made by Alma Voerster, Jo Ractliffe, Judy Woodborne and Pippa Skotnes and printed under the supervision of Jo Ractliffe and Pippa Skotnes who also compiled and printed the text, and the cover of the book. The edition consists of: 24 copies numbered 1/24 to 24/24. 3 hors commerce numbered H.C. I/III to H.C.
