Don likes to use his own paste papers in his design bindings. As these tend to be impressionistic leaving the reader to use his or her own imagination Don felt that he needed something else to convey immediately something of the violence of the combat between these two powerful bears. Something that, he felt, would match the highly visual text. He achieved this with the use of acrylics and the result appears on the front and back boards. The binding is in Bradel style and is done in a suitably violent colour of calf with red Nepalese paper employed in the endpapers.
