- Summary:
-
A take-off of an instructional manual from what developed into a 'not-an-artist's-book' series that covered art (...and how not to make it), music (...and how not to play it), hand tools (...and how not to use them), home mechanics (...and how not to do it), plus home surgery (...and how not to do it). A second volume of the 'The book of first aid' was issued in the same format in 2000 in an edition of 50, as well as in a third volume in a single-sided vertical accordion fold format. The cacophonous assemblage of collaged images and text, enhanced with doodles, is both humorous and slightly horrifying.
