Edition Notes
"Errors of the Amanuensis: or the Calumny of the Secretary is a story about an impertinent secretary using simple text and binary code. Each page includes a 'big word' that is slightly familiar but which most of us could not exactly define. That word, in caps, is illustrated by its translation into binary code. A take off of the 'For Dummies' series of books is tucked into the back cover decoding the message."--Women's Studio website, http://www.wsworkshop.org/ viewed October 13, 2010.
"A piece of KaKeART".
Book explores the relationship between letterpress printing and binary code.
