Small octavo. (26)pp, french fold. In the printer's own words, "This little book utilizes a series of blocks made from odds and ends of waste material, printed on a home-made press. . . . The blocks seem to fall naturally into a simple story form." Eight two-page colored prints, from plates made with bits of glass, lace, cardboard, wire, and other materials, illustrate a woman's reaction to a strange sound. Some creasing to spine, light shelf-toning, else near fine in flexible boards. This volume is considered "a kind of survey or anthology of [Cox's] discoveries across several years."
