LIMITED EDITION of 50 copies, this is number 40, SIGNED by Ms Maryatt and the 5 course participants on the colophon. This is the seventh title issued by Scripps College Press during Ms. Maryatt's tenure at the press. "Of all the characteristics that describe the nature of a typical book, such as bound paper pages, portability, information capture, and limited size, one of the most essential elements is sequence. Just try to make a completely non-sequential bound book! So students were asked to focus particularly on the development of sequence and progression, including paying attention the integration of the text with images. Subjects included the pages of the moon, the metamorphosis of a butterfly, sharing a stream of consciousness, longing for the love of a father, and the lonely progression of time." Maryatt, Sixty Over Thirty, p. 25. Students "investigated placing their stories into various page structures, where the unfolding of the structure aided the sequential revealing of the story. The imagery was created by brushing or hand applying acrylic gel medium freely on linoleum blocks, cut or uncut, or by gluing fabric to the block in selective positions. Each story was sewn into an accordion folded bookcloth, which was attached to covers with magnets. You can open the book at the spine or fore-edge, or both, to be able to display the pages either flat against a book case or fully in a circle. The paper is Somerset Satin, with various typefaces used in the stories." Scripps College Press website, accessed 10, 23, 2023.
