From the Preface
by Connell B. Gallagher,
Special Collections Librarian,
University of Vermont

"There is always the question of why a visual artist like Brian D. Cohen chooses to make books and broadsides. Cohen's strength is in the visual, the pictorial; while he designs and produces the etchings for his books, he has for many years collaborated with poets, bookbinders, and typographers to realize his books. . . . Cohen's response to this question is that his images are made to be viewed as connected, successive, and interrelated – in other words, to be viewed as books. Each print does stand on its own, . . . but there is an integration, a segue from print to print that is drawn through his folios and books. . . .He piles up images of trains on bridges, in tunnels, in stations, in wrecks, building to a critical mass and an almost inevitable destiny."

The book was designed by Paul Hoffmann. The text was set in Bembo, and the fifty-three etchings were reproduced in 300-line duotone. The limited edition of 500 copies was printed on Mohawk Superfine 65-pound cover paper, and was numbered and signed by the artist. Binding was by New Hampshire Bindery.
