number 177 of 275 signed by bradbury on the introduction. one of the most unusual books printed by the arion press. The color and grey background that appear on some plates were applied by hand; some diagrams were photo-engraved, the letterpress printing and die cutting were executed on a hand-fed press, and the binding was crafted from aluminum by Q-Rolo Sheet Metal Products. The whole can be opened to a form 30-foot plane (like the plane-geometrical citizens of Flatland).
