This copy inscribed by Spriestersbach in December, 1989: "To Kim / I will treasure this personalized evidence of the quality of the artisans associated with the Center for the Book and wish you all Godspeed. / Sprie." Also, with a one-page autograph letter signed from Sprie laid in: "I am delighted to have the copies and, as usual, they are printed in a form and style that I find overwhelming - and undeserved." Berger, Printing and the Mind of Merker, 93: "D. C. Spriestersbach was my 'godfather' from the very beginning of my career at Iowa. Without him there would have been no Windhover Press or Center for the Book. He supported me, protected me, and helped me in hundreds of ways over the years." Princeton, Utah, and Iowa only in OCLC.
