Chris Marker the director of the film is not the designer of the book. The contributions to the film of Trevor Duncan (music) and Antoine Bonfanti (sound mix) made sometime between 1962 when the film was shot and 1964 when it was released are duly listed by the ciné-roman. Nevertheless, no trace of their efforts remains. Similarly, music from Russian Liturgy of the Good Saturday, Jean Ravel’s editing, the actors’ voices.

The credits include a Marker "Filmography" divided into what are presumed to be self-evident categories: feature films; short films; television; multimedia; video; music video and narrations. Marker is further identified as "a filmmaker, photographer, traveler, and he likes cats."

No details are provided for Bruce Mau, designer of the Zone Books edition and the book jacket. "Design Associate" Greg Van Alstyne exists only as an enigma.
