Oblong quarto. (171)pp. A seminal marker of Bing's late-career shift away from photography and toward text and drawing. Her flexibility between words and images and her will to arrange them in rigid, numerological sequences reflects the 1970s vogue for structuralist and serial art and film. Bound in white illustrated cloth over boards. Corners bumped, some mild exterior soiling, pastedowns show adhesive shine-through and toning. Very good.
