Little Sparta: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1992 11.8 x 9cm, 36pp plus grey boards. An artist's book with descriptions of unrealised sculptural works designed to be placed in a garden (arcadia).
For instance:
The word FRAGILE in Roman letters, on a formal stone placed upright by the foot of a birch tree."

One of 250 such books printed as Christmas gifts by the Press. VG+.
