“This past June a volume titled Pretty Woman was published. Containing colour and monochrome across more than four hundred pages, that hardcover with a colourful poppy design is in a way an encyclopaedia of the capital's vulgarities from my own point of view.

Then, in July, I received a copy of the compilation Record from a London publisher who had finally completed a year-long project collecting all previously published volumes of the journal, from one to thirty. After the initial five that I conceived and put together back in 1972, it was put on ice for quite a long time.”
