The book was sewn on frayed cords with hand sewn silk end bands, bound in full Sokoto goat leather with Harmatan goat leather onlays. A clamshell box with a recess for the book also houses "The Trees of Corriganville Refional Park," a suite of six botanical prints not found in the book.
The box is covered in Japanese Neon Slub book cloth in Copper. There is a Valley oak leaf that is inlayed on the cover and a leather label on the spine with the title stamped in gold foil.
The book is set into a recess with an Italian cotton ribbon pull.
Three Valley oak leaf onlays decorate the cover.
In the recess under the book is a landscape letterpress printed from hand cut Gomuban relief plates on orange handmade Katie MacGregor abaca.
Three of the six letterpress botanicals printed from photo polymer plates in four colors.
