It is it difficult to capture the magnitude of Ray Johnson in such a small publication. Nevertheless, the book is structured in a way that offers a glimpse into the realm which is Ray. Not only does the book offer selections of the artist's collages and moticos, but includes essays from friends and contemporaries and examples of Ray Johnson's personal submissions to his New York Correspondece School network. It can only be hoped that a larger collection of Johnson's work will be published soon, as his razor wit and ironic turns never cease to be amazing and enthralling.

Lots of good full size letters & postcards from the NYCS, bunch of collages and the best part is it has pics of whole shoebox full of postcard sized collages found after Johnson's death. Doesnt have as much stuff as the "Correspondences" book but the shoebox part makes it my favorite of the Johnson books.
Have a nice night.

This book is exactly what I was looking for, a nice compliment to the mail art piece of Johnson's that I recently purchased. Shipping didn't take too long. Great transaction!
