30 x 21cm, 4pp with silver and black on white lithograph on the front, content of two sheets - one light blue typing paper and the other a lined "STATIONERY" page much as used by children to line up their handwriting on a blank page (such as the blue sheet). The work plays in part on the homonym "stationery" (stationary). The lined paper visually is also much like a channel or a canal with parallel banks. Button's front cover drawing is minimal and of a boat in outline cutting through the water with an ever-widening wake behind it. This is one of 300 signed and numbered copies in green ink by Finlay. VG+.

25 x 55cm, b.w offset lithograph of a drawing of a trawler (by David Button) with a semi-opaque overlay of a text: ERRATA/Bow and stern of trawler for "KY" read A. " Is this a dirty joke? Not really Finlay's thing but it could be correct as A is often "arse" in vernacular and the stern of a trawler is the arse of the boat. KY is a brand of lubricant and a "trawler" might well be someone who "gets around". On balance I think we are forced to accept that this is somewhat blue which is surprising.
One of 300 signed and numbered examples in paper folder.
