Scope and Contents

This documentation includes a letter of introduction by Johanna Drucker to the Dutch collector Meneer C.A. Groenendijk written on December 8, 1978, that requests an appointment to show him "from A to Z." Drucker has included a four page resume with the letter. A handwritten letter to the collector, dated January 17th, is included with ten typed pages of an explanation of "from A to Z." The detailed, personal, complex description illuminates the typographic masterpiece and writing of this poet/printer at the early stages of her career, and was considered lost until it was purchased by Marvin Sackner from a bookdealer in Holland. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
