This book illustrates a collection of 255 music manuscripts whose selection by Cage was determined by circumstances. The text was the result of I-Ching chance operations which determined how many words were to be written by or about the 269 composers. Not only the number of words and the author, but the typography too - letter size, intensity and typeface - were all determined by chance operations. Alison Knowles served as co-editor and also designed the book. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
