Each page represents a pass on the antique press, intentionally including errors that are inherent to the hand-set type process. These errors may include physically damaged type or type set upside-down and backwards. The progression of pages documents the gradual correction of printing errors. By emphasizing the physical properties of words created with lead type, the book challenges the copy-and-paste digital environment where plagiarism often occurs. The repeated text throughout the booklet pages serves as a tangible representation of the theme of exposure to others' ideas, and explores the fine line between influence, appropriation, and outright theft.
