L'Homme de Parole, 1997
Scope and Contents
The book represents a man's body with a white, plastic spiral spine, a face and hair made of cut, smaller spiral spine material, a heart shaped heart printed with "je t'aime," and appropriately shaped booklets for the arms, abdomen, legs and penis. Crombie wrote the Sackners that these book objects were too difficult to transport and make so that none of the editions were completed as stated in the colophon. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
