From bookmaker's flyer: "Triple dos a dos is the name I've given to the binding of this book, as it has four book boards in all, accommodating three text blocks. The first part is a conventional codex-style book, an essay which explores Shakespeare's use of the storm in the three plays. It is illustrated with two drypoint prints, one of Trinculo taking shelter under Caliban's gaberding and the other a drypoint with chine colle of the Globe Theatre after Visscher's engraving of 1616. For the second part I selected quotations from Julius Caesar and King Lear and illustrated them with drypoint and monotype prints, supplemented with gold leaf illustration and water colour. This is bound in the form of a drum leaf book, with two drypoint/monotype illustrations for each play. In the third section, The Tempest, monotype prints provide a stormy backdrop for the quoteations. These and the two drypoint illustrations are printed on thin translucent UJapanese handmade Gampi paper, suspended between the folds of the pages to convey the dreamlike illusory and magical quality of the play. This part is a modified carousel binding. All are contained within the same storm-purple full leather binding, with gilt title and design on the front cover representing the four elements shaken by the events in each play. The covers are fastened with ribbon ties on one side and silver hook with loops secures the back covers."
