General note"Word Play is a look at words illustrated by random phrases and random images, some containing type and letterforms. The reader should not spend a great deal of time trying to establish a relationship between the words and the images, although that relationship does exist--albeit loosely--in the imagination of the printer."--Colophon.
General noteIncludes printed definitions of the word "word," and collages of large and small type, letterpress printing, illustrations, colored paper, and small electronic components. Unusual words related to "words" (i.e. Epeolatry: the worship of words) printed in large type over letterpress pages from 1825, and defined in the colophon.
General note"In this edition there are 32 copies"--Colophon.
General note"Papers are a mixture of Indian Village handmade watercolor paper, papers made by the printer of raffia and cotton rag, and pages from an 1825 letterpress-printed book. The Indian Village cover stock has been gelatin-sized and pigmented."--Colophon.
General noteLetterpress printed. Nine gatherings sewn onto a concertina with a linked unsupported stitch. All edges untrimmed. Enclosed in four-flap white paper wrapper tied with raffia. First and last leaves blank.
