Paula Scher traces her design work and career in sections titled Corporate Politics 101, Style Wars and In the Company of Men. Her graphic designs have a concrete and visual poetic sensibility. One of them, "an opinionated map," that is held by the Sackner Archive is reproduced on page 134. In the first section of the book, Scher describes and illustrates her record cover designs. Style Wars concerns designing record, books, logos, marketing graphics, posters and painted maps. The final section concerns Scher's involvement with Pentagram, designing for the Public Theater and Broadway, logos, magazines, architectural design and fabric design. Scher writes, "I began painting small opinionated maps in the early nineties. Over time they grew larger and more obsessive. In the late nineties and now the map paintings serve as an antidote to laborious corporate design projects frustrated by indecisive committees." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

This catalogue was published for the exhibition on the work of the British poet, Bob Cobbing. The exhibition was curated by Matthew Abess who was the scholar in residence at the Sackner Archive during the summer of 2006 between his sophomore and junior years at the University of Pennsylvania. He also wrote the catalogue essay and organized a symposium at the Kelly Writers House with Maggie O'Sullivan and cris cheek, compatriates of Bob Cobbing, participating in the event along with Charles Bernstein and Marvin Sackner. All the Cobbing material for the exhibition came from the Sackner Archive. The three copies in the Sackner Archive will be considered varient copies as the final few pages were poorly printed. Marvin Sackner advised the attendees to hold on to these copies as special before a more perfect version is reprinted. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
