All of the type was letterpress printed from photopolymer plates. ... The rubbings were made from sidewalks and curbs, first by hammering the damp sheets of paper onto the concrete with a brush, then rolling them with screenprinting ink. CC students Nicole Leung and Jessica Zhou did most of the rubbings."--Colophon.
