Additional notes:
Colophon: Skoelapperheuwel, Skoelappervrou is gedruk op 'n lithografiese oorsetpers op 250 gm Rives BFK papier deur Bruce Attwood by die Broederstroompers, Broederstroom, Suid-Afrika.

Dit is met die hand gestik en gebind in natuurlike linne en Aappa-skaapleer en van 'n glipkasset voorsien deur Peter Carstens, Bramley View, Johannesburg.

Die teks is geset in Visigoth, 'n lettertipe spesiaal vir hierdie uitgawe ontwerp deur Cynthis Hollandsworth van AlphaOmega Typography, Inc,. Rhinebeck, Nieu-York.

Bound in three-quarter blue buckram with a paste paper design in the centre of the boards."

The binding described above was delayed in 1988. Thirty copies of the unbound pages were found in 2010 and Peter Carstens then bound them with blue cloth and matching paste papers and matching slipcase. The title appears on the spine and on a label (printed by Mark Attwood) inset into the front cover of the slipcase. The artist extra-illustrated each copy with individual distinctive pencil drawings.
