"The images in 'Checkbook' originate from a collection of obsolete printer's cuts rescued from the refuse collector. The pages were printed on a Vandercook #4 proofing press. The die cutting was cut by hand. The white paper is coated one side cover stock; the title page is a gray text which varies from book to book. The cover and pocket jacket are Strathmore Americana Cover. The doubled cover wrap is Canson Tientes. No two books are identical. All die cuts are in the same position, but the pages were printed from several forms which were rotated or reversed. The title page and outside sleeve were set by hand in Franklin Gothic and Venus foundry type. "Designed, printed and bound in an edition of 8 in 1989 by Robert Charles Smith, at the Eclectic Press, 6316m Washington Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri, 63130." -- colophon
