A post-modernist jeweled binding. Binding design inspired by Diebenkorn's etchings, presenting a series of deconstructions for  Yeats' imagery "a coat upon a hanger". Binding design offers a further possibility for another "coat upon a hanger" deconstruction.  Inset with the spiritual jewels of the nineties: strange and exotic electronic components, including capacitors, resistors, transistors, cores, and rectifiers, from a unique place and time. A California Yeats. 

The book is bound in full purple morocco with mosaics of chagrin, Oasis, box calf, and cape morocco leathers. Design composed of various electronic components, white gold wires and with blind and palladium tooling. Doublures and fly leaves of purple suede.  Palladium book edges.  Clam shell style box with metal handle made from computer hardware to compliment book design..
