Using watercolour, Battiss has created the text using the negative white of the printed pages.

He has pasted an irregular card with the title onto the cover of the book .

The altered pages are as follows, alternating in English and Fook Text:

Inside front cover: The FOOK ISLAND CREATION MYTH | Canto One | And Lo! | in the middle of the night |
