About This Item
Tight spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Some areas of soiling/sunning to the boards and spine exterior. Jacket has some areas of heavy edge-wear and a half-inch tear that has been repaired with tape. Jacket design by Bob Silverman. 'Sonny Applewhite and I meet deliberately and premeditately,' says Fuller on the creative process behind this book, 'and thereafter find ourselves spontaneously, inadvertently hauling in word-netted shoals (schools of cosmic fish, i.e., epistemological pisces).' Applewhite, who was mentored by Fuller and worked as a CIA officer, described himself as 'a lover of the great indoors', a 'taxophilist'—or obsessive researcher, cataloguer, and collector of eclectic knowledge—who took pride in living his life without ever having changed a tire or diaper, boiled an egg, or visited a psychiatrist. 157 pp. Biography/Memoir.
