Scope and Contents

The first section, Gastonomie is subtitled "Extracts of a greenish guide 2263 - a selection of the best tables for greedy mandibles." It consists of six illustrations of constructivistic multi-colored designs and three pages of descriptive lists. the second section, Fertilite, consists of grids of 25 colored, fantastic creatures with made-up titles below each crature in the grid boxes. Nadau writes on the back cover "Twenty-third century: The humane vermin is positively auto destructive. Unnamable unknown plants send forth on toxic lemon and fertile humus putrifying ossuaries. Doped by the moist chemicals and radioactivity, the insects become very intelligent, taking (?) the relay, and by consequence constructing gastronomique restaurants." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
