Descripción

Einband leicht berieben. - This book represents a departure in book-making; the first of its kind, so far as we know. Two hundred and forty stencils were made in order to reproduce the contents of the eighty pages which comprise the book. For some of the double pages, which are paintings in themselves, as many as twenty colors were used. The text alone covers fifty-one pages and is in the author's own handwriting. (The sentence from Freud, from which the title derives, as well as his signature, are also in Henrv Miller's handwriting, it being impossible to resurrect Freud to do the job himself.) The book was conceived, designed and organized by Bezalel Schatz, an Israeli artist, who began his career in Paris after years of apprenticeship in the Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts established by his father in Jerusalem.
