This softcover book with no dust jacket as issued is hand signed and inscribed in blue and red marker on the title page to Cheryl + Bill. The two green Harlequin figures are printed on the title figure, but Hockney hand drew embellishments in red marker underneath and a French flag on top , and used the red and blue colors of the French flag to sign and inscribe the work. (In the 1970s' Hockney famously had a studio in Paris, and he befriended many American expatriates during that era.)
