Somewhat on a whim, I wanted to see a layout of all the pages of the Whole Earth Catalog.  But I didn't want to draw another box in the switcher thing on the wall, since it wasn't really a new "variation".


It actually took me a while to realize that I could use the book itself as the "button".  That was, of course, the entire point of the project from the beginning, but I just wasn't "thinking that way" yet.

The (original) Whole Earth Catalog, only 60 pages (but has no spine, so you can't see it highlighted too well on the shelf in this photo) --



Computer Lib / Dream Machines --
