Illustrated on page 342 of The Century of Artists' Books by Johanna Drucker, 1995.

Judith Hoffberg, Umbrella, Vol 10 No 2 (1987): "I want to take picture by Bill Burke is the power book of the year, a masterpiece of a personal journal by an iconoclastic photographer, which resonates with intensity because of the images and text by the Boston-based artist, Bill Burke, who made a journey to Southeast Asia on three different occasions, keeping a daily journal both in handwriting and now in typed text. The diary entries, human and honest, are illustrated with powerful photographs not only of people but also of objects and souvenirs of Southeast Asia. Visits to an Elephant Training Camp, opium dens, as well as holiday celebrations make the pages sing of cultural impressions and dramatic devastation. A personal tragedy occurred when after shooting four rolls of 3jmm film and three boxes of black and white Polaroids. Burke finds himself in an automobile accident in which the suitcase which contained all the film he shot during several days at the border between Thailand and Cambodia, as well as cameras, lenses and audio equipment, were lost but found a week later with the film, but with all the equipment gone. A broken neck brought him back to Boston and the hospital, but not without a most moving book, one which will resonate after you close the cover."
