¶ This copy comes from the archive of the Dutch poet Simon Vinkenoog (1928-2009) with his dated signature "Am*dam / 7/8-4-'78" on the title page, a great reference to one of the useful tips in the book ("Go away, News!") verso front cover and in the back a fantastic long text in handwriting, written over five pages.
It seems that, inspired by something he has read, SV has feverishly scribbled down his first thoughts about enlightenment and true happiness. on p. 24 it seems that Vinkenoog's daughter Anna has drawn the outline of her hand.
