Additional notes:
The book is included in an eleborate drop-back box which includes, in its lid, an original hand-printed woodcut by Aaron Johnson. It is done in a form called anamorphic art, the word from the Greek meaning "to transform". The image may be viewed by removing the mirrored cylinder strapped to the spine of the box and standing it on end within the printed circle on the woodcut. The "corrected" image can then be seen reflected in the mirror.

Illustrated on page 169 of "Book Art Object", The Codex Foundation, 2008.
