This fine copy of 17 Nonsensical Instruments is particularly interesting because it was given by the author of the book to its illustrator in the year it was published. One must therefore assume that early June was the publication date of this extremely rare book. As with the majority of 41° books it is likely to have been printed in a very small edition.

Although Zdanevich's name does not appear one must presume that the master of typography and driving force behind the movement must hve been instrumental in designing this beautifully presented work. This is the first example we have handled and the book does not appear in Markov or other bibliographics we have access to.
