This book, the result of a collaborative effort, was made partly in Canberra and partly in Paris. It consists of five hoop pine wooden ‘pages’ with six text ‘pages’ interspersed between. The timber was retrieved from a fallen tree found in the bush at Mt Tamorine, which had been bored through by the hoop pine grub. All ‘pages’ are mounted onto two or three rings each, making a total of 19 wooden rings which are then held together by a dowel to make the binding.
