When these four collections of poems and drawings were published in 1979-1980 there was no such thing as photocopying. 

They were printed on copy paper using a Gestetner spirit duplicator in runs of about 100. To achieve the multi-color effect, a single paper stencil was marked with different colors of stencil ink, producing each page in one pass until at least one color of the stencil ink was exhausted. The stencil was then discarded.

They were sold unbound at independent bookstores in downtown Montréal.
