Directions by by Robert Fitterman and Steve Giasson
Via Derek Beaulieu:
For Les Figues Press’ fundraising auction, Fitterman offered something called “Not A Thing;” an offer to collaborate on a conceptual text.
Giasson won the bid and together they came up with a text titled Directions where they chart out the various ways to get from Fitterman’s apartment to Giasson’s … car, ship, plan, bicycle and more.
Published in an edition of 60 handbound copies (30 of which are for sale), each copy has handcut BFKRives covers.
Directions is available for $8 (shipping included).
To order, please email derek@housepress.ca

Other Room reader Derek Beaulieu talks about How To Write to Helen Hajnoczky.
