Scope and Contents
This is a later printing of the book sometime after 1986. The first edition which is identical in layout and also held by the Sackner Archive, was published in only 126 copies. The layout of the text has unusual spacing and a variety of fonts. In one chapter, the spaced words take on a concrete poetic appearance and in another, the spaced letters almost appear like a letter picture. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
