This is the first edition of the book. Publication of "A Humument" was begun in 1970 by Tetrad Press with a box of 10 silkscreened pages. The original manuscript was started in 1966 and completed in 1973; it was exhibited in 1973 at the Institute of Contemporary Art, London. The current edition, now out of print, differs from the Tetrad in that several new pages were substituted for the first versions and several others were reworked by hand, using advantages of revision offered by offset color lithography. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
