Descriptions
- Description
- This edition was originally planned at 700 copies, although Maciunas, reacting to reports that they were so badly printed as to be unsellable, seems to have duped the printer out of payment, and in the process only managed to collect 300 copies, abandoning the other 400.
Publication History
