Additional Details

One of 1500 copies, this one unnumbered and marked "display copy." "White remains one of our personal favorites, if not the favorite. . .The challenge: How do we print a publication using little to no ink? The solution: Artwork was either embossed, printed with varnish (our interpretation of ''invisible'' ink), or, as in the case of Ruben Toledo's illustrations, hand cut from tissue paper in a small village in China. We used braille on the cover and on many of the inside pages, leading the New York Times to call White ''the magazine for touching.''
