MSU: hand binding by Karen Hanmer. "Design inspired by the theme of duality woven through Ficciones, and by Borges' reminiscence of childhood, 'I used to stop for a long time in front of the tiger's cage to see him pacing back and forth. I liked his natural beauty, his black stripes and his golden stripes. And now that I am blind, one single color remains for me, and it is precisely the color of the tiger, the color yellow.' Sew on tapes laced into boards, covered in full yellow goatskin. Back pared onlays of pale yellow and black. Textured pale yellow endsheets, leather joint. Sewn endbands of black and yellow silk. Acrylic edges. 8 1/4 x 5 x 1 inches. Bound 2006."
