the farouche Assemblage: Matt hughes

2007

A Vancian mystery by author Matt Hughes, featuring a game of forgeries, underhanded deals, priceless artworks and variable morals.

The Farouche Assemblage is the fourth chapbook created and published by Jacob McMurray's now defunct small art press, Payseur & Schmidt. McMurray designed the book interior and cover. The text block was printed on a Xerox machine using quality paper and perfect-bound. The cover was screen printed in 3 colors and hand-trimmed to fit the profile of Jason Van Hollander’s cover illustration. The limitation page featured a paste-in strip that was signed by Matt Hughes, stamped over with a custom-designed stamp, and adorned with the publisher's thumbprint. 125 copies were printed and hand assembled.
