Scope and Contents

Subtitled "Les Mysteres de la Levitation," this book is a hommage to Blaise Cendrars. The handwritten text, laid out wihout punctuation marks and in with wave-like horizontal lines, on successive engravings, becomes progressively smaller until the last page is micrographic. A B.C. on the box edge and on the third engraving probably signifies "to B[laise] C[endrars]." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
