Although the real identity of the writers is revealed on page IV. of the book, the stories are published under Pessoa heteronyms, chosen by the authors themselves. In other words, you will have to guess which story is written by Quentin and which by Colin Insole, for example. For those not in mood of playing games, at the end of the book there is a sealed black envelope. You open it and inside you will find the key to the puzzle, a page of fine paper with the real names of the writers and their stories.

The book also features artwork by Richard Skelton of Corbel Stone Press.

Limited to 140 numbered exemplars of which 110 copies only are for sale, 286 pages lithographically printed, hand-sewn cloth binding, dustjacket, silk bookmark, illustrated endpapers, color frontispiece.
