Attractive copy of this justly celebrated artist's book, combining elements of concrete poetry, figural typography, cut-up and collage. De Rook (b.1945) is among the pioneers of these techniques in the Netherlands and a highly influential figure in the postmodern literary avant-garde, both through his own work and through his publishing concern EXP/PRESS, which operated from 1970 to about 1978. This title not widely held institutionally, infrequent in commerce.
