Dictionary entry
- Type
- Write the declarations in large capitals by hand and paste the rest in as typed pages
- Composition
- Treat the spread as one sheet and favor filling it over leaving margin
- Material
- Coarse photocopy tone, staple binding, the shadows of cut edges left in
- Caution
- Copying the coarse photocopy look alone gets nowhere without the writing itself, in which the maker gives a name and speaks in the first person.
