Prove before Laying: Figuring the Word.

Druckwerk, 1997. Item #3485

Spiral bound in boards with printed label. Johanna Drucker notes: tThe inspiration for this project was from the label on the new font, and also, from a long- standing interest in trying to create work under certain kinds of constraint, particularly the constraints offered by letterpress technology." (Johanna Drucker, Artists Books Online.) 

The edition comprised 40 copies printed letterpress on Rives paper, bound in quarter-bound in cloth. There were also 50 copies hors commerce, numbered and signed, which were printed on Mohawk Superfine and meant for friends. This is from the hors commerce state.
