Is There a Ship Named the Wave Sheaf? / Finlay, Ian Hamilton; Harvey, Michael., 1972
It Looks Like Snow / Charlip, Remy., 1957
The pages contain citations at the bottom for the proposed images of this "picture book" sans images. Since the dedication of this work reads "for John Cage," the metaphor may signify the musical silences in the composer's avant garde musical scores. This copy might be much less than 750 copies. The completed book was published in 1962 but is out of print. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
It Looks Like Snow (Expurgated Version) / Charlip, Remy ; Cage J., 1957
All pages are blank in this version of the booklet with its title perhaps further alluding to the minimalist musical scores of John Cage. This copy may be unique. However, the completed book was published in 1962 but is out of print. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Language to Cover a Page: The Early Writings of Vito Acconci edited by Craig Dworkin / Acconci, Vito ; Dworkin C ; Goldsmith K., 2006
This collection of Acconci's poems is edited by Craig Dworkin who contributed an introduction titled "Delay in Verse." He writes that reframing text from the New York Times and the New York City weather report respectively, Goldsmith's books 'Day' and 'The Weather' were written with complete lack of knowledge of Acconci's own newspaper and weather forecast poems from thirty-five years earlier, despite the striking and uncanny resemblance of those subsequent precedents. The books by Goldsmith are held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
