Scope and Contents

This book is a scrapbook selection of Reps' books, drawings, and correspondence. The printed poems on translucent rice paper almost appear to be drawings. Page 73 reproduces pages from Reps' American Fabrics book, a work held by the Sackner Archive. Aside from the drawing, the major difference between the trade edition and this limited edition book is the quality of the handmade paper for the silkscreen prints. In the deluxe edition, heavier paper is used and the threads within the paper are more visiable. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
