Scope and Contents

This tour de force of bookmaking, printing and neo-dada texts is the final production of Walter Hamady in this series. This volume is described by him as "The last Gabberjabb number eight and IX/XViths of aleatory annexations of odd bondings or fortuitous encounters with incompatible realities or love, anguish, wonder; and engagement or a partial timeline of sorts or bait and switch or finally, a pedagogical rememberance." In this book, Hamady launches... a long polemic against the unauthorized and false statements accompanying an exhibition of his press at the Grolier Club in April 2003. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
