We used every book-related bad pun and miserable metaphor we could think of. This piece (actually a tabloid) was made as a handout for the "Independent Art Publishing Conference and Bookfair" at Visual Studies Workshop in 1979. Organized by Don Russell and Helen Brunner, it was a landmark artists' book conference that drew participants from Europe and Mexico as well as an amazing array of book publishers and dealers. It was the first time so many of us gathered in one place.
