The cover is lettered in Auerbach's calligraphy, applied in black foil on a silver paper.
The book contains original marble patterns created specially for the book by the artist on both the endpapers and the edges of the book block.
Essays by Joseph Becker, Jenny Gheith and Linda Dalrymple Henderson provide further context for the work.

Encapsulating Auerbach's longstanding consideration of symmetry, texture and logic, the title S v Z offers a framework for this volume's typeface, design and structure.
Published in conjunction with the first major survey of the artist's work, this volume, designed by Auerbach in collaboration with David Reinfurt, spans 16 years of her career, highlighting her interest in concepts such as duality and its alternatives, interconnectedness, rhythm and four-dimensional geometry.
