Above: Another example of a block of text from Sweet Junk by Gail Rubini. The text apparently follows three separate story lines, the words in bold, the central section of text, and the one-liners that run along the bottom edge of each text page. The one-liner from the previous page (above) is continued, "leaning on the arm of a stout man with globular green". The one-liners continue, page to page, throughout the rest of the book.
Above: The image opposite "from Sweet Junk. The images are matted on colored paper which is pasted into the actual book.
