Additional notes:
Nexus Press: "DeCoster's Television is a pixilated history of the progress of media culture and the deterioration of literacy. This hard bound book reads like a documentary film as it induces laughter, imparts information and previews the end of civilization."

Johanna Drucker, artistsbooksonline: "The work addresses media theory and poses critical issues in the spirit of Marshall McLuhan's Mechanical Bride. The edition was produced in 1985, and the pastiche tone of the work has the feel of much postmodern appropriation and criticism – focused on media but playing with its tropes and production means as well.

"Publication history: Only one edition was produced of this work, but it was part of a larger internship."
