The cover image was scanned from a monoprint made by Harry Reese and then ink-jet printed onto handmade paper. 2007; Edition of 75. The Sea Gazer features traditional letterpress printing as well as digital imaging techniques. As Harry Reese has noted, "There is a distinct pattern we can follow in human information technologies as they have evolved and developed over time: the new technology turns the old technology into an art form. "In the book arts, new technologies for typography, printing, and the electronic display of images and texts have cumulatively conferred upon the hand produced book a greater value and a higher recognition."
