"A double-sided concertina alphabet book made up of 26 pop-up capital letters. Two editions of 1000 copies ... cut and creased onto Heritage Book paper and glued to silk screened Heritage Museum end-boards, packed into a clear PVC tray and sleeve."--Cooking the books, describing the original 1983 edition.
"This edition of Alphabeta Concertina is limited to 500 copies printed, cut and creased onto Heritage Book paper and glued to Heritage Museum board (both acid free stocks). The design and construction devised by Ronald King have been used in other Circle Press productions and certain letters have been re-designed since the first and second edition were published in 1983 and 1984."--Colophon.
