AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The concept is integral to the work. Broken Manual concerns people who have withdrawn from conventional society — monks, survivalists, hermits and runaways — and explores the desire to escape civilization. Soth worked with the writer Lester B. Morrison, a pseudonym/persona he developed for the project.
The special edition turns that idea into a physical object: the book itself is hidden inside another book, making the "book-safe" part of the artwork rather than simply packaging.
Each of the 300 shell books is unique, because Soth and the team physically cut the cavities into different found books. The shell also contains the Liberation Billfold Manifest and photographic material.
