About this Item

Original stiff pictorial wrappers, stapled, colophon printed on recto of rear wrapper leaf. Signed and numbered by the artist on the colophon. Fine.

An exquisite corpse-style "slice book," featuring various human and non-human figures each cut into three parts so that their heads, torsos, and legs can be combined in various ways.
