(each card) The cards, designed by the pioneering book and conceptual artist Roth, are his version of collectable trading cards. He originally wanted to include a chocolate bar with each but this was impractical since the SMS portfolios were to be mailed to collectors. From the edition of approximately 2000 published by Letter Edged in Black Press; this example is one of the 100 signed works. Signed in marker to cover.
