Limited edition of 200 copies. A stage performance of this book was devised as a direct result of a conversation with Simon Vinkenoog. The layout is a bit like multimedia in text.
Disguised as a textbook, this slim volume tells the story of a 'trip' and deals with the concepts of language, money, and communication needed for the journey.
"If you only ever read one book, make it Stereometrie ." --Plato.
"It was John Michell who brought the quote from Plato to my attention. Had I known of it before publication, I would have added it to the fake reviews on the back cover. Believe it or not, some people actually took this book seriously." --Henry W.Targowski.
"I had lots of fun creating this book. Unlike my previous work, this one used language as image, rather than image as language. The whole thing was a textual collage loaded with lots of word play.
