Summary:
"This book features diverse, interrelated readings of volvelles, cartography, and randomography. This flexible notion of a book with its movable devices, graphical calculations, and swirling windows of chance offers self-propelled encounters with the variables of communication through language and interpretation"--Artist's statement on the Vamp & Tramp Booksellers' website, viewed on September 3, 2014.
