On the back cover, In the late seventies I felt pressed to "get rid" of my Hungarian. So the main source of my way is a deficiency, which makes things simple in some sense. Asemic Table No. 2 on the cover is a comment on Tony Trehy's Reykjavik. Works on pp 4, 6, 7, 8, 11 and 13 were dedicated to Geof Huth, Karl Kempton, Jim Leftwich, Bob Grumman, Nico Vassilakis and Karl Young respectively.
