(JANUS PRESS) Kaufman, Margaret. AUNT SALLIES LAMENT [ALTERED]. (Newark, 
VT: Janus Press. 2004). Diamond shaped 8vo. truncated at spine. It consists of 
12 leaves made from various colored papers with geometric cutouts and 
designs, some with mounted patterned papers. The leaves diminish in size as the 
poem (printed in white) progresses. The whole of the design is intended to 
evoke a patchwork quilt. Edition limited to 120 copies, signed by Claire Van 
Vliet, Ellen Dorn Levitt, Audrey Holden and Mary Richardson (the latter 3 
helped with the design and assembly). This copy is inscribed by Claire Van 
Vliet. The "book," with thin cardboard covers, is housed within an inset of the 
publisher's clamshell box which is lined with various patterned fabrics that 
continue the quilt theme. The clamshell case is covered with a patterned 
rose fabric, paper label on spine printed in lilac. Laid in is a printed 
letter/prospectus under the Janus Press letterhead, signed by Claire Van Vliet. 
Fine.     $350.00
The original version was published in 1988.
