From the prospectus: The accordion-fold book extends to 18 feet. The binding adheres to the model of livre d'artiste; the bookblock rests in a printed paper cover wrapped in glassine. It is housed in a paper slipcase and a cloth-covered box. On eighteen of the twenty sheets that make up the book, long narrow text and drawings mirror one another, the verso English, the recto French, the drawings running to either side of the gutter.
