"Each airplane is embellished with a military decal and the name of an appropriate common garden feature has been printed on the rear wing. When the airplanes have been constructed, they may either be displayed together as a squadron or, if you have access to a garden, they should be carefully placed in the relevant spot to act as markers or name tags and a pleasing focus of interest for when the flowers are out of season."

Edinburgh: Graeme Murray Gallery, 1981 16 x 16cm, 60pp plus card covers and printed dustjacket. Three fold outs and one work reproduced in colour as frontispiece. Artist's book (one suspects it was also an exhibition catalogue given Murray was the dealer for the works included but this is not mentioned and Finlay is noted as having designed the book) which shows duotone images (by Hani Latif) of 17 inscribed large pebbles (or rocks really) with found texts from philosophers, poets and others. The texts on the stones reflect the quotations. The sculptures were made under Finlay's instruction by Richard Grasby. One thousand copies were printed. VG although slight rippling to the dustjacket.

Little Sparta: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1981
11.5 x 21.5cm, 4pp. One of Finlay's "definition" works - the word RIPPLE is defined as a small, often dark-blue fold or dent resembling a wood-chip. Will float on fresh or salt water in all light airs. The paper used here is a turquoise (possibly more green than blue) and the definition is the only text on it inside. The "dent" or "fold" referred to presumably indicated the fold in the paper here (there is no other reason for the paper to be folded otherwise). The fold also hints at the way a boat bottom is shaped to allow floating. VG+.
