Specialist Notes

Complete copy of the dustjacket in triangles and in multiple languages. This is how the author described his illegible books: “They are books without words, books with pages cut in different ways, with pages of different colours. (...) You turn the pages as if to read and many geometric compositions are composed and decomposed and when you find one that you like more than the others, you can put it under glass until you feel like changing it...". Maffei 2002, p. 88.
