CANON iR 105~~. ~~loaned from the Banner Repeater XeroX Book Library'~~		Copy of the Xerox book curated by Jack Wendler and Seth Siegelaub with contributions of 25 consecutive pages each from the conceptual artists: Carl Andre, Robert Barry, Douglas Huebler, Joseph Korsuth, Sol LeWitt, Robert Morris, Lawrence Weiner. A photocopy of the Xerox book is on permanent display, at Banner Repeater, and it exemplifies the attempt to make available an otherwise hard to access item; one invested in the desire at the time to de-commodify art by printing cheaply as a Xerox (but actually realised as a lithograph edition), which integrated seamlessly into the market as a precious object. The copy we first acquired came about by being photocopied to allow people to browse the book for the Jack Wendler exhibition at Chelsea space, eventually achieving its intended status. A small library of these is growing with on-going contributions. They are intended for educational purposes only, and have no monetary value.

	~~The text Xerography refers to an exhibition~~ of ~~the same name that tookplace at firstsite~~, ~~Colchester~~, ~~UK in 2013. BOOK SHOW refers to an exhibition~~ of the ~~same name that took place at Eastside Projects in Birmingham~~, UK in ~~2010~~. This copy of the ~~XeroX book was exhibited as a part~~ of the ~~show~~.		Each Xerox book copy details its precedent: as a copy of a copy of a copy, and so on, and maps how it became part of the library, and the photocopier used in the printing of each copy. This copy is the XeroX copy of the copy of the copy: Rollo Press, Switzerland, swapped with the copy of the copy of the copy Chelsea Space, removing the additional material: ""Earl Brown manuscript, 1972"", copying the copy given to Chriss Rawcliffe by Jack Wendler, but ignoring the page change in the section: Carl Andre. (BOOK SHOW Eastside Projects, International Project Space library, Birmingham (bookswap)). KONICA 652.

	The white softcover bears some wear and tear and marks of its use and the contextualising label inside the back cover also shows a Banner Repeater logo and url.
