Bricks

About this book

Bricks: A New Book of Poems by Daniel X. O'Neil was the first book published by Juggernaut. Published in December 1992. Since it was our first book, we wanted it to be plain and not overreach. No decoration. Jonny Stepping designed the spreads of the book with a simple innovation-- the page on the left is justified to the right and the page on the right is justified to the left. This way the book gravitates to and emanates from the center bottom of the spreads, growing out from the pages in an unadorned fashion, making their own form. We made 1,000 copies of the book. The cover price was $10. It is sold out, with just a few savers left in our personal collections. Each book is hand-numberd xxx/1000. Every now and then we come across some in used book stores that we can reclaim, but not as many as Memo To All Employees because we gave out many fewer review copies. We applied ISBN stickers retroactively after we published Memo To All Employees, so most copies do not have an ISBN.
