"Portable document Format is the inaugural publication of the serving library, an institution of hospitality currently being assembled by Dexter Sinister. The first part of the book comprises thirteen texts which circulate around the library, by Rob Giampietro, Anthony Huberman, J. Christopher Jones, Louis Kaplan, Edgar Allan Poe, Seth Price, David Reinfurt, David Senior, Dexter Sinister, and Giles Weaver. These were first collected and distributed online as PDFs in the library at www.DexterSinister.org, then subsequently printed as loose 8-page signatures in an edition of 400, forty of which were library-bound. The second part of the book comprises reproductions of a series of ten images, collectively titled W.A.S.T.E. proof prints, along with their accompanying extended captions." -- publisher's statement.
