	~~A white softcover copy~~ of the ~~XeroX Book series~~. A ~~label on the inside~~ of the ~~back cover provides context and details~~ on ~~how this version was xeroxed~~, ~~distributed~~ and ~~exchanged: 'XeroX~~. ~~Copy of~~ the ~~copy: Central Saint Martins~~ library, ~~kept in back room: Tom Mason. FOR REFERENCE ONLY~~. ~~CANON iR 3570'~~		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.

	Back cover has a fold along its full length and whole cover shows some light discoloration.		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; Central Saint Martins library, kept in back room; Tom Mason, FOR REFERENCE ONLY. CANON iR 3570.

			A white softcover copy of the XeroX Book series. Back cover has a fold along its full length and whole cover shows some light discoloration.
