From three only one JHK/Book No.(54) / Kocman, J.H.., 1987
JHK's Dorsal Preparated Book / J.H. Kocman., 1970
Kocman made a diagonal cut across all the pages of a physics laboratory calalogue distributed by W. Hruby in 1913 (as on the cover). This book bears a relation to Buzz Spector's book object, "The Outline of Art" (1982) who tore each page at progrssively closer edges to the right hand border. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Paper Re Making Book No.089 (Kafka: The Metamorphosis) / Kocman, J.H.., 1981
Kocman requested the Sackners to send him five paperback copies of Kafka's novel "The Metamorphosis" and that he would return a surprise to them. The novel describes the tribulations of Gregor Samsa who as he "awoke one morning from uneasy dreams found himself transformed into a gigantic insect..." Kocman took the books that the Sackners had sent him, pulped the pages and formed handmade paper pages bound them into a book literally metamorphosizing "The Metamorphosis." This work was exhibited at the Agnes Scott College Gallery, Atlanta, January 2001. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
