This copy contemporaneously inscribed by Bochner on the front flyleaf, “for Ira, Best Regards, Mel Bochner 1973”. This book of directions and diagrams for a complete sculptural installation of stones, chalk and hazelnuts “on the floor” begins with a quotation from Brian Ellis’ “Concepts of Measurement” (1968): “It is not difficult to understand what is meant by saying a physical object more or less closely resembles a Euclidean circle, but what could be meant by saying a group fo stones resembles the number 10?”.
