Note

Small strip of Thai included in binding which at front contains title and at back, the erratum. Four other strips of paper (one in the shape of a body) have been attached to pages throughout the text. The author refers to these as "wisps". The folded section contains "The faerie song" from W. B. Yeats, "The land of heart's desire" and has been illustrated (figures in a circle). "The green text pages are old faded hand-me-down handmade paper, courtesy of Laguna Verde Imprenta. The blue is Fabriano Text, the lace paper, Japanese Kanzesui. The banners, wisps, & cover are Thai. The types are Hermann Zapf's Civilité, and Frederic Ward's Arrighi. The text, design, illustration and collage are mine [i.e. Gloria Stuart]. I hand set the type, and printed the book on my Vandercook SP15 ... Allwyn O'Mara is the binderer. A Slight diversion is the eleventh book form Imprenta Glorias in an edition of eighteen. This is number [in ms] 3 ..."--Colophon Bound in patterned Thai with added gilt over boards.
