Scope and Contents

The main text on each page is printed in black ink with wood blocks. The smaller text is letterpress in red ink. Each page contains a collage of found fragments enclosed with acetate. Carbone writes in the colophon that we should "observe each piece, bit, scrap, chip, sliver, particle - reduced to tarnished, withered, warped, punctured, frayed, mared, burned, brused, violated, gnawed, impaired, dog-eared, decrepted, corroded, fragments." The book is printed on artwax brown paper (kraft paper) that imparts a pleasant, waxy smell. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
