Scope and Contents

This book done as a palimpset on variations of the letters "I" & "H" was probably influenced by bp Nichol's experimental letter pictures. A written note on the cover to curry himself from his pseudonym, Mrs. Amuseus, states "nice effect, John, but you've failed to take into account the inadequacies of your materials. Conceptually strong but physically lacking." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
