This book was the centerpiece of a Burning Books installation at the Museum of Fine Arts in Santa Fe. It’s also an alternative to the precious, expensive, “white gloves” artist books cult. More content, less fuss. Read it. Put it in your pocket. Set your cocktail on it.

PRICE TEN CENTS! To get your very own copy of THE CENTERPIECE just send one dime and your mailing address to:
