"This book uses cut-up original graphics [by Malutzki] (mostly woodcuts and linocuts with hand-set typography) that appeared as broadsheets in the FlugBlatt Presse between 1980 and 1984. Now they serve as the background for the first three lines of Samuel Beckett's poem 'What would I do without this world ...' and are largely covered by the black overprinting. Nonetheless, the multicolored graphic motifs underneath are more or less clearly visible, and are an important part of the book. Overprinting with 24 Cicero wood type and their reverse side."--Artist's statement, Vamp & Tramp Booksellers website. The first three lines of Beckett's "What would I do without this world," which are presented in Palimpsest: "What would I do without this world faceless incurious / where to be lasts but an instant where every instant / spills in the void the ignorance of having been." --Vamp & Tramp, Booksellers website. "Printed paper-over-board with spine title. Woodcuts. Linocuts. Handset typography. Overprinting with 24 Cicero wood type."--Vamp and Tramp Booksellers website. Edition of 35, signed and numbered by the artist. Special Collections has copy no. 16/35, initialed by the book artist on Colophon. IaU
