Description:Accordion book. Letterpress printed on machine-made Japanese paper. Edition number 42 of 50. Signed by the artist. The lyrics printed on the work come from "This is the song that doesn't end" popularized by Sheri Lewis's "Lamb Chop's Play-Along" television show and were printed to wrap around the accordion-style book, encouraging a reading or recitation that once begun, can go on for infinity.
