Base book is a German language textbook, with interesting history. It was mine originally - high school German class (circa 1962). A younger sister ~ Juliette ~ used it in her high-school German class (circa 1968). It went the "rounds" as old textbooks do, and arrived "out of the blue" in my mailbox about 1991 from it's 6th "user" on endpiece. Owners signatures and miscellaneous information such as date, teacher/professor and various scriggles.
Materials: paper cuttings/findings - totally random and seemingly unconnected - from old newspapers, old books and catalogs and "who knows where it came from" scraps of this and that caught my inner-eyes at one moment or another. Stories within stories, that speak with and for themselves, or perhaps in a way, closes the book on those stories.
