by Gins, Madeline
[132 pp.], printed cream cloth-covered boards in printed dust jacket. 4to. Very good. Minor toning, shelf wear to jacket. [1991]
An experimental conceptual novel, with several gestures that play with the form of the book itself, including a photograph of the book itself as the dust jacket illustration, crossed-out front jacket flap copy, and several interior pages reproduced with an image of a thumb holding the edge of the page. An early work by Gins, who also worked in conceptual art and architecture. This copy is lovingly signed, "Dear Shirley, Dear Arthur and to the dear X, love Madeline, 1977 - 1977777777 + x," and was acquired by us from the library of Arthur Danto. (Inventory #: 1991)
