Scope and Contents

The pages of the book are tabbed with the alphabet as in an address book. The text is printed on tan paper that gives an antique appearance. The images on the pages consist of photographs of an apartment building on the upper left and lower right of the facing pages and a walking man wearing a raincoat. The typographically varing text describes the building and the man. A text printed vertically on the verso of the alphabetical tabs reads, "The views afforded by evenly spaced windows, now indiscrete, may seem a film, and the street, its tireless projector." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
