Artist's book composed of two typological series of works, multiplied by the two authors and mixed together in the volume: compositions by both Villa and Costa reproduced and manuscriptu (free words, formulas, asemantic texts); plates with numerous figurative drawings by Costa, in the typical style; plates with abstract drawings by Villa, characterized by the thick black stroke (two of which are also printed on the covers); the texts "and manuscripto" are printed on normal weight handmade paper; the plates instead on heavy paper.
