A rare Mexican artists book produced by Vicente Rojo in 1968, pairing texts by Ray Bradbury, E.B. White, Fredric Brown and others with reproductions of found imagery from a 1909 Italian occult scientific text.

Rojo (1932-2021) was a key member of the Mexican arts movement known as the Rupture Generation, and one of the most influential Mexican printers of the period. As the founder of Imprenta Madero, the seminal Mexican screen-printing studio, Rojo would steward an entire generation of Mexican graphic design. Rojo frequently paired literary texts with his prints, producing highly sought after books such as his collaborations with Octavio Paz and Julio Cortazar.
