Broken Manual (Special Edition)

I received an e-mail this morning about a really interesting new Steidl book with which Alec Soth and the writer Lester B. Morrison have "created an underground instruction manual for those looking to escape their lives".

Each of the the (initial) special edition of 300 are housed - à la Stephen Gill - in the shell of a hollowed-out book and include a "Liberation Billfold Manifest" as well as a signed/numbered print. The whole set will be installed at Minneapolis' Walker Art Center as part of Soth's exhibition there before being shipped to buyers in January 2011. More information here.
