• offset lithograph, sewn in sections and cased

This is the third Korean edition of the 1969 classic, first translated and published by Specter Press in 2008. The cover restores the first Korean edition’s iconinc black-on-white design.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the original book, we added a bookmark with a translation of Potter’s “Precepts of the Literalist Movement,” probably written in 1949.
