Text in German and English. A very good soft cover book with embossed flexible plastic covers and a hard acrylic spine; bound with stainless steel bolts.

Multiple paper stocks and printing effects, including tipped-in plates, printed transparent slipsheets, fold-outs and more. A zeitgeist-defining tour-de-force of book design and production by Fluxus master Wolf Vostell.
