About This Item
Paris & New York: n.p., 1992. First edition. Wraps. Fine. 4to, original collage book, accordion fold in collaged wrappers, housed in handmade drop-spine box with additional items. One of only seven copies, the entire edition of this collaborative work by the long-time friends and frequent co-creators of such lively and appealing books. Includes a "preface" in manuscript by Padgett, with the main text in rubberstamped type in in running dialogue with Dorny's inventive and colorful collage elements. The book includes additional synaesthetic elements: a small handheld microcassette recorder, embellished with embroidered fabric, and with a tape of Padgett reading the text, and a small bottle of "perfume" containing the essence of a 1948 schoolroom referred to in the text.
