Scope and Contents
Marvin Sackner wrote the essay for this catalogue, entitled "Introduction to WordSeen Exhibition." To begin, I must declare a conflict of interest in writing this introduction.

Short, conversational prefaces to each of this book's 15 sections help pave the way for uninitiated readers (though as the work becomes more difficult to appreciate on the page, his introductions become more technical and complex). These commentaries threaten to...
