- "This reprinting is a facsimile of Carolee's personal copy from the first edition. Her intentions were to paint the back cover of each book and create a new set of hand interventions for the present day. This publication was in production at the time of her death in 2019. All hand interventions including corrections, stamping, staining, drawing, and highlighting were recreated to the artist's exact wishes. Each copy in this edition is signed by Carolee's beloved feline, La Niña, using a pigment mixed from beet juice and dirt gathered from the grounds of Carolee's eighteenth century farmhouse in New Paltz, NY. -- This book includes the first publishing of an excerpt from Schneemann's Sexual Parameters Chart, Americana I Ching Apple Pie, film positives from two of Carolee's films, notes and sketches on Kinetic Painting, a very special menstrual-blood-blotted paper work, and more"--Provided by publisher.
