The inside front cover: HOMO-MAN-HATTON. [Manhattan?]

Walter Battiss, 222W 23rd St, New York, Chelsea Hotel. 8 May 1974. Illustration of steam from manholes in N.Y. Streets at 7am (8.5.74) and Walk/ Dont Walk sign. In FOOK script: I found Ferdinand Fook in New York. N.Y. is the city he found. 27 sketches, most signed and dated and often titled. Several pages torn out, one sheet loose.

The inside back cover and facing page has text on FOOK and a reference to Tolkien's Hobbit.

Aphorism: Sub-creation = the power to give to fantasy the inner consistency of reality. 7 sketches and 12 blank pages. It appears that this side of the book was returned to later - in 1980.
