Endpapers with "ant mountain" design.

The cover has ""77" prominently displayed - presumably the date although two of the drawings depicted are dated 1981 and 1982.

Page 3 has the Walter Battiss "double head" blind stamp with text in Fook Island script (which I have been unable to interpret).

A partially complete list of books by Walter Battiss appears on page 220 of Battiss edited by Karin Skawran & Michael Macnamara, Ad Donker, 1985.

Another copy signed on the cover and editioned (34/150) by Giles Battiss.

Item ID 956: Fook Island Fish by Norman Catherine was included in a few copies of Dookoomoonka 77.
