Notes on the design
Great care has been taken in producing a fine book at a reasonable cost, with quality papers, material and binding. Timothy Patrick Butler (weirdart.com) has created unique illustrations for the book, including three plates to represent the Marriage, Funeral and Ragnarök rituals. Reverend Kevin I. Slaughter worked with Magus Peter Gilmore to develop an entirely new style for typesetting rituals, not seen in any publication before. The priority was to produce a text that could not only be read in low-light settings common to ritual work, but stage direction and notation could be clearly identified and differentiated.
The book is professionally bound in traditional 16 page Smythsewn signatures. The pages are a natural color wood free paper. The hardback and slipcased editions feature quarter cloth binding and full color printed front and back panels in addition to either the 4 color dust jacket or full cloth slipcase. The cloth used is from one of Japan’s oldest book cloth makers.
