This is the first edition. In an author's afterward, Foer writes that he used the text of Bruno Schultz''s book "The Street of Crocodiles" to create this "imagined larger book, this ultimate book, that every word ever written, spoken or thought is exhumed." Bruno Schultz was killed by the Nazis and only two volumns of his writing survive.

Scope and Contents Four powdered elements are contained within the laminate.Wikipedia: An ignimbrite is the deposit of a pyroclastic density current, or pyroclastic flow. It is a hot suspension of particles and gases flowing rapidly from a volcano driven by having a greater density than the surrounding atmosphere. New Zealand geologist Patrick Marshall derived the term 'ignimbrite' from "fiery rock dust cloud' (from the Latin igni- (fire) and imbri- (rain)), formed as the result of immense explosions of pyroclastic ash, lapilli and blocks flowing down the sides of volcanoes. Ignimbrites are made of a very poorly sorted mixture of volcanic ash (or tuff when lithified) and pumice lapilli, commonly with scattered lithic fragments. The ash is composed of glass shards and crystal fragments. Ignimbrites may be loose and unconsolidated or lithified (solidified) rock called lapilli-tuff. Proximal to the volcanic source, ignimbrites commonly contain thick accumulations of lithic blocks, and distally, many...
