Plantin and printed on BFK Velin Cuve Rives 250 gsm; three signed photo etchings ("Nine Stretches," "Cut Fabric," and "Coathanger") and three signed lithographs ("Z Stretch," "Booby Trap," and "Relief"), all in stiff paper folders; a "practical," "an example of a home-made computer used to generate the images;" and two spiral-bound books, facsimiles of the artist's working books, entitled "Notebook" and "Continuity Book," each signed. All inserted into various slots in the box which is wrapped in a 3mm Perspex folded cover. Limited to 345 copies (300 thus), numbered and signed by the artist.

 supposed to fit. There is a scratch in the paint on the Perspex cover which serves as the spine title. Overall Near Fine. $325 postpaid.
