Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Included. 7 ½ in. x 10 in. Handmade artist s book by Timothy C. Ely. Red/brown morocco spine & "diced" 1 in. sides with hand-painted board covers featuring various types of materials which have been mounted & then painted, including a set of gilt numbers on front cover: 9, 50874, 70, 43, 052, 21; raised areas with painted "marbleized" surface in various shades of red & brown, black, gold, & blue painted letters; brass corner pieces with raised oriental-appearing lettering. Containing 5 bound-in leaves "overprinted" with a black-line graph paper design on various shades of red & brown; yellow or tan letters or pictographic characters, designs, geometric figures, numerals make up the "text" of these leaves. Title page has in gilt: EQUIVALENT T. ELY 6-7-89 & iridescent foil character; other pages have letters, etc. printed in blue or iridescent silver foil on surface. Outer edges show red & gilt edged surface. Inside covers feature textured surfaces in red or tan with gold & black over-painting. A wonderful & mysterious book-object! If a "medieval" or elvish tome arrived from outer space it might approximate this; it would not match it. An interesting (if baffling) artist's book produced by an artist well-known for work of this type. Very fine.
