The book is quarter dark green cloth with green paper boards. White paper spine label with black lettering and ruled borders. Black-and-white decorative headpieces at the chapter heading tops. Beautiful textured Van Gelder hand-made paper with deckled edges. The book is a large quarto size (11" by 7.75"). The pagination as follows - [i-iv] v-xx [1-2] 3-15 [1 colophon]. As stated this one of 650 copies.
The dust jacket is textured forest green paper with texture with a hand-printed letterset title "Carrillo On The Pious Fund" stamped on it at the top of the spine. There is a 1/4 inch closed tear at the top (with miniscule wear, see the photo, please) of the spine jacket and an 1/8 inch closed tear at the bottom of the jacket spine. There is no fading to the edges of the book, nor the jacket. If not for these minor things, the jacket would be fine.
