This book was done while Atchley was teaching at the University of Victoria (1969-1971) in Canada. Although Atchley had a background in fine printing and typesetting, he had dabbled in xerography in Baltimore and conceived of this book as a xerox project. He bought 250 empty three ring notebooks and invited all his friends to contribute up to 10 pages, 250 copies of each page. To encourage participation, the invitation stated that all pages would be included without editing. By the end of the year, there were about 60 contributors. Dana Atchley's "Notebook 1," an assembling, was published in March 1970 about the same time as Assembling No.1, edited by Kostelanetz and Korn.The envelope within the notebook contains ten Fluxus performance direction sheets. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
