Here is a blurb about The Cecil Touchon Asemic Reader written by Peter Schwenger:
"A torrent of creative dynamism, The
Cecil Touchon Asemic Reader comes at you in three waves: asemic
overwriting of print, usually on antique pages; the elegant typographic
collages for which Touchon is best known; and layered linear screens that seem
to exist in a receding space. Through these variations, the book challenges us
to rethink in depth our conceptions of surface, a thinking accompanied by
wordless pleasure."
—Peter Schwenger, author of Asemic: The Art Of Writing
