Scope and Contents

The edition size of this book is unknown but probably less than five copies. In 1997, a book with the same title and a claim to be unique was offered by Lecointre & Drouet. The pages were printed by a process related to creating blue prints; Lecointre & Drouet state that the process of producing the violet letters was probably related to a printing system using alcohol (xylograph?). The letraset letters on the cover have been partially rubbed off. The binding does not permit the pages to be fully opened. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
