The original journal is held in the Prints & Photographs Collection at the Library of Congress, Washington D.C. This book is printed on archival 220 gsm pure cotton rag photographic paper. Each book is personally hand bound and stitched"--Acknowledgments.

The slipcase cloth is Desert pattern MARPAT (short for MARine PATtern), a digital camouflage pattern designed for the United States Marine Corps. It is the artist's intention that the fabric of the slip case will wear, abrade and discolour as do the uniforms of US Marine Corps.
