The book consists of an long essay on the history of word-image works begining with Mallarme's "Un Coup de Des..." to Concrete Poetry by A. Schug. The folding of the book is similar to Cendrars and Delauney's "Transsiberian Railway." The latter is reproduced in color as a facsimile in the same dimensions when this catalogue is fully opened. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The German word, Wurfelwurf, meaning throw of the dice, is printed in large capital letters in red, brown, and gray inks as a border around the folded and cut pages of this book. Rather than reprinting Mallarme's Un Coup de Des, Nasshan prints fragments of personal interest along with his impressions of the poem. Here the poem is subservient to Nasshan's creation of an artist book. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
