The Lettered edition is limited to twenty-six. The text pages are set in Boydlow, an unreleased type design by Matthew Carter based on the Century typeface. It is a hand sewn Coptic binding with waxed linen threads and genuine Ardesia stone slate from Italy covering the boards. The pastedown is Mexican Mayan paper, handmade with renewable plant fibers and is acid-free. The frontispiece engraving is printed letterpress from the original boxwood block and the edition is printed offset on French Speckletone paper. It is housed in a clamshell enclosure covered in Japanese cloth, and is signed by Joyce Carol Oates, Ryan Pancoast and Richard Wagener.
