The Collector's First Edition: Each book is hand numbered and signed by the poet. The paper, an 80 lb. acid free premium stock, is sensual to the touch with its authentic felt impressed texture and deckle edge. Translucent pages separate each drawing from its poem. Although the poetry has been set in an old world Chancery font, it remains easy to read. A lustrous satin finished navy blue ribbon bookmarker has been included for easy referencing. The rugged midnight blue hard cover is made from a very durable, heavily grained, leather-like material. Each book has been carefully assembled by hand. Each book has been side-sewn by hand, reminiscent of the ancient book binder's craft. Special robust "Elephant Hyde" end papers securely anchor the book block to the cover. Ancient protective symbols and runic writing have been foil impressed onto the cover. The drawings are beautiful and the poetic tales touch the soul of all who read them. This book is unique and simply elegant.

The Soft Cover Edition: The pages of this beautiful new edition are made with the same paper stock as the Collectors' First Edition but without the deckle edges. The book has been hand assembled and bound by machine. There are no artwork separator pages as in the hard cover edition, nor is there a ribbon bookmarker. The soft cover contains a graphic image of the eastern sky at twilight with a dark silver embossed Ægishjálmur symbol rising above a white strand or beach.
