"Shortly after September 11th, 2001, I began riding my bicycle down from my apartment on Upper West Side of New York city to the World Trade Center disaster site - or as near as I could get to it. I rode down almost every day, in all weather, for about four months. When I came home, I wrote about what I saw." -Richard Goodman
The book contains five full-page colored wood engravings by Gaylord Schanilec based on a bike ride with the author down toward the disaster site some ten years later. The text is printed letterpress from metal type, and the images from hand-cut end-grain maple blocks.
