This book was the centerpiece of a Burning Books installation at the Museum of Fine Arts in Santa Fe. It's also an alternative to the precious, expensive, "white gloves" artists' book cult. More content, less fuss. Read it. Put it in your pocket. Set down your cocktail on it.
16 pages 7 x 5 inches price: 10 cents
