Scope and Contents

Elizabeth Was uses her abbreviated name "Liz Was" in this book. The authors describe this book as a "composite assembling of styles of visual information...contrasting the hand-drawn with the computer-generated, the cave painting with the graffiti. Language has been twisted to form palindromes & anagrams. Photos have materialized out of nowhere to be assigned neologisms. Glyphs have been etched into paper & slogans have been coined." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
