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.
