This book is bound with marbled paper over limp boards, green linen spine. It was hand set and printed on a Vandercook press by Walter Hamady. Three unbound copies were made in addition to the 100 copies. There is a real typewriter keyshaft attached in the binding of the book (the letter "V") that almost appears as a bookmark. This one anamorphically mulling life's exigencies via the lensing metaphor of a typewriter. (His) original handwitten text; the first typewritten draft, hand corrected: and the first rough setting of a "typewriter typeface" transmogrify into an ultimate readability Bernard's text on the untimely discarding of typewriters - or is it people our society prematurely abandon. The printing plate is a handwritten text dating 2/14/92 that is printed in the book as a facing pages spread; it was a gift to the Sackners from Hamady. Selected as one of the "Fifty Books of the Year" 1996 AIGA. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
