Additional notes:
An "altered" book. This book, despite its seeming impenetrability, can still be opened; the viewer may extend the metaphor almost indefinitely using the image of the double-headed nail, the well used appearance, the name of the introducer, the chapter headings, etc.

Early feminist tract.
