The Here Book Which is a Book Here Created from the Husks of Other Books There Such Books There as the Bibliomania Book There by Thomas Frognall Dibdin and Perhaps Either Literally or Metaphorically Made from Certain Works by Iain Sinclair Especially His Book White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings Which is a Truly Inspiring Work I Can't Recall Anything About it... Truly I Am a Phony Ah... Now What Else A Book of Critique Perhaps Could It Be Called That I Guess So I Tossed the Massive Hardcover Edition I'd Purchased of the Bibliomania Book I Tossed it Into the Trash Regretfully I Wished I Hadn't but Such Is Life... That Book Contained Materials I'd Purchased at the Dollar Store: White Out and Other Materials and I Had Fun Messing With Its Pages But it Kept Falling Apart and I Guess I Got a Little Discouraged Thinking I Could Never Write a Book like A Humument Which is A Wonderful Book I Wrote About in Graduate School by Tom Phillips and Tom Phillips Had an Idea or an Agreement With Another Artist That They Would Go Into a Store and Only Get to Spend a Particular Amount of Money on Whatever They Got in There and That's What Their Next Project Would Have to be and Tom Phillips Got a Book Called A Human Document by W.H. Mallock and Over Time He Turned it into His Own Book Called a Humument That He Painted On and Wrote On and Turned it Into a New Thing Here We're Going to Be Here for A while I'll Just Include a Blurb From Tom Phillips' Website Describing the Project: A Humument has been a work in progress since 1966 when artist Tom Phillips set himself a task: to find a second-hand book for threepence and alter every page by painting, collage and cut-up techniques to create an entirely new version. The book he found was an 1892 Victorian obscurity A Human Document by W.H. Mallock and Phillips transformed it into A Humument. The first version was printed by the Tetrad press in 1973, and Phillips has continued to transform it, revise it and develop it ever since. Oh Hell Maybe You're One of Those Discerning Readers and Need to Have a Take on a Work That Wasn't Written By the Author I'll Look For One While I'm at it I'll Look for a Description of the W.H. Mallock Book Who Cares Here Goes Wikipedia On A Humument Phillips drew, painted, and collaged over the pages, while leaving some of the original text to show through in the form of erasure. Through this process, A Humument is a new story with a new protagonist named Bill Toge, whose name appears only when the word together or altogether appears in Mallock's original text.
