The text that accompanied this work:
The Book Hawk is a protector, maintaining a claim, concerned with its place and its time. This predator patrols its territory; a location with a historical authority that is undeniable, a place where the maintaining of that history and its traditions, requires a degree of control. Considered largely docile, the Book Hawk, when challenged, can become uncompromising and aggressive. With its complex support structure and constant power supply it can overwhelm its newer, more virile challengers with little effort.
