Printing: Letterpress. Typography: Linotype Caledonia and handset Neuland; titles in green. Illustration: Reproductions of nine line drawings by Donna Thomas. Two frog-shaped leaves bound in.
“We originally set the type and printed one copy (all on frog shaped pieces of paper with original watercolors by Donna) for Constance Hunter to bind as a one-of-a-kind frog shaped book. When that project was done we had the type set and a few spare pieces of paper. This book was the result of the fact that we wanted to make use of all the work already done, but really didn’t want to make an edition of frog shaped books.”
