It was designed by John Kramer and photographed by Julia Featheringill with a preface by Nebraskan wood cut Emeritus Karen Kunc. The book was produced in a limited edition of 200, and all copies are signed.

"A Woodblock Index” (Abrazos) is an exciting and beautifully designed look at an artist’s evolution. There are mythical creatures (harpies, a phoenix, a lamb with a man’s face), leaping acrobats and circus twirlers, a man with hooks for hands, a bird with a swirling tongue; and sundry bands of merry bringers…All of it feels animated by a spirit of movement and exploration, and one gets a sense not only of the physicality of the process — the combination of drawing, sculpting and carving — but also the animation of a lively mind attuned to shape and action, nature and spirit.”
