El libro de los oficios [The Book of Jobs]

González Batista, Renael

Notes: 15 leaves in a shaped enclosure. Largest dimensions, 14 by 11-1/2 inches. Published in an edition of 100 copies.

A book in the shape of a hat, with text leaves fitted into a pocket at the top. The text—13 poems, a title sheet, and an about the author page—is letterpress printed from linotype on small sheets of handmade paper.

The hat enclosure is handpainted. The front is possibly by Freddy García Azze, the book's designer. The back is painted by a student at a Holguín elementary school. As the enclosures are handpainted, they are all unique; however from an admittedly small sample it appears that there are at least two repeated designs—a night sky and the Cuban flag.
