Square octavo. (29)ff, frenchfold. Designed by Cohen and illustrated throughout by his shadowy, visceral etchings of animals, What the Animals Teach Us bridges the foibles of human living and the natural rectitudes of birds, lizards, fish, and mammals. The book, which presents as a poem-cum-primer, is both aphoristic and actionable. Typecast by Dan Carr at the Golgonooza Letter Foundry. Bound by Linda Lembke in quarter tan leather with natural olive paper over boards. The extra proof sheets show the title page, runs of the pages which show the text beneath the illustrations rather than on the facing pages, and the colophon. This last calls for Cardinal Mill papers and five artist's proofs, but the realized colophon notes the shift to Frankfurt White sheets and only three proofs. Fine. Book housed in dropback box, sheets sleeved separately.
