Designed by Collin Fletcher and presented as a 5 x 8” perfect bound volume on recycled paper stock throughout.

Includes essays and notes about the albums Vernal Equinox, Earthquake Island, Possible Musics, Dream Theory In Malaya, Aka-Dabari-Java, City: Works Of Fiction, Fascinoma, Maarifa Street and Listening To Pictures.
