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.
