Colophon: "The first volume of this reader was stolen at an exhibition in Pretoria in 1991- thus confirming it's status as a library book. Handwritten by J.S. Mason, Simon's Town 1992. Second volume".

This book is a humorous statement on the condition of public library books showing many of the characteristics of a damaged, defaced (or altered!) book.
