One of 45 copies printed on English handmade paper and bound in plexiglass by C. Zwang, from a total edition of 67. Kaldewey's imaginative homage to California combines all his bookmaking skills with satisfying effect.

The text, also by Kaldewey, comprises a series of impressions on the Californian landscape and lifestyle.
