out-of-series copy from an edition of only 30, Signed by Terry Belanger and members of the Book Arts Press. Inserted is a Typed Letter Signed by Belanger on 12 April 1999 to each of the buyers of these remaining four portfolios that were not sold. As such, the colophon remained blank until 1999. He explained that, because they were ashamed of the sloppy printing of some of the sheets, only about 23 copies were actually presented for sale in 1980. These four contain additional samples of the way in which they actually used the Annenberg wood type in posters and other Book Arts Press printing projects.
