The book spine and board edges are covered in green cape morocco; magnetic closure at for edge; decorated papers by Claude Del Pierre; drop back box.

This book consists of a series of etchings; there are no words except on the title page. This format offered an opportunity to experiment with a self supporting book structure, permitting the viewer a choice of "reading" the book in the usual manner, or seeing the etchings displayed almost vertically. Parts of the book boards were cut out and then hinged to allow them to open and hold the book in a standing position. These supports return to sit flush into the book covers, and are held in this position by magnets that are not visible. The for edges are also magnetic.

The forms of the supports were chosen to suggest the organic nature of the text, and to complement the negative spaces of the roof shapes in the etchings.
